At Lorien Wood, we believe that quality education should be a shared community investment—a commitment that benefits every family. That’s why our Variable Tuition program is at the heart of our financial policy, ensuring that every student receives an exceptional, faith-based education without the burden of full-price tuition.
Our Variable Tuition program embodies the idea that education is a community effort. Each year, Lorien Wood designates a portion of tuition income to support families who need assistance, making it possible for all our families to share in the incredible journey of learning together.
We’re proud to offer a rich, dynamic curriculum while keeping costs modest. How do we do it?
Beyond our community-funded tuition support, we offer a needs-based tuition assistance program. This initiative allows families to apply for a tuition rate that reflects their financial situation, making a quality, private Christian education accessible to those who might otherwise be left out. Currently, about 30% of our families benefit from some level of tuition support, underscoring our commitment to inclusivity.
To ensure a fair and objective process, we use FACTS Financial Grant & Aid for our Variable Tuition application and award determination. FACTS securely collects and authenticates financial data, providing detailed reports that help our Variable Tuition Committee make informed decisions—while protecting your privacy every step of the way.
If you’re concerned about meeting full tuition costs, we encourage you to apply for Variable Tuition. Visit this secure portal to submit your application. Please note that while applications are welcome year-round, we ask families to submit their application as soon as they are able to do so.
At Lorien Wood, our Variable Tuition program is more than just a financial plan—it’s a reflection of our shared belief that every child deserves the beauty of a Lorien Wood education. Join our community and experience an education where everyone contributes, and every child thrives.
