Annual Fund:
Tuition covers approximately 90% of the cost of educating each Lake Country Student. The Annual Fund along with all other fundraising efforts at Lake Country School help to balance the operating budget that funds the school's mission—to help children prepare themselves for life. The Annual Fund is essential to maintaining the exceptional educational environments that children experience daily, and every Lake Country family is expected to participate in the Annual Fund according to their means.
Parent Involvement Fee:
A $125 parent involvement fee is billed annually to each family. This fee supports the cost of school publications, parent education, and school events.
Extended Day:
Children's House and Elementary students who arrive prior to and/or stay beyond regular school hours must be enrolled in the Extended Day program through a separate contract. The fee is $6.00 per hour and is billed monthly based on the contractual agreement. Contracts may be adjusted on a monthly basis throughout the year to reflect family scheduling needs. Occasional drop-in use is available for Elementary students only, and is billed at $8.00 per hour. For more information on Lake Country's Extended Day programs, please click here.
