Lanier Christian Academy proudly offers Variable Tuition. Tuition at LCA is not a “One-size-fits all.” It is a range. A range that spans from 50-100% of the full cost of education. Variable Tuition adjusts tuition rates to meet your family’s unique financial position. LCA can offer variable tuition because of the Georgia GOAL program. GOAL allows all Georgia taxpayers to redirect their state taxes to be spent at LCA. We take these funds and award them to families that qualify for needs based assistance.
We begin processing variable tuition applications on March 15th. Application must be submitted in order for your variable tuition application to be reviewed. Awards are communicated to applicants within two weeks of application verification.
Pricing includes tuition and fees for: textbooks, class field trips, electives, technology, yearbook, free admission to all home sporting events and fine art productions per student. 6th – 12th grade includes: Fall Retreat; 6th – 12th UM includes science lab tuition. **12th grade tuition includes senior fees.
*Kindergarten UM will be offered based on adequate enrollment. Contact Sherry Reed, Admissions Director, at 678-828-8350 or [email protected] for more information.

There are ways LCA can help most any family. Simply apply online through our third party FACTS Grant and Aidwebsite. FACTS charges a small fee to apply. Financial assistance is offered on the basis of demonstrated financial need. An application for admission or updated registration information needs to be on file at the time of your request.
Please be aware that due to federal banking guidelines automatic bank transfers start processing 2 business days ahead of time. Due to this requirement any change to the schedule, financial account, or payment amount would need to be made at least 2 business days ahead of time in order to affect the payment prior to it hitting your bank account.
