Tuition and Fees
Welcome to Trinity!
At Trinity Lutheran School, we teach the whole child, meeting the needs to grow academically, socially, emotionally, physically, creatively, and spiritually in each of the children who attend our school. We believe that wholeness springs from knowing Jesus’s love. It is our goal to offer an academic program centered upon Christ, within a school community of excellence and joy in an updated, state-of-the-art classroom setting.
The Ministry of Trinity Lutheran School is supported through the mission offerings of Trinity Lutheran Church, tuition, and third source funding. Please click the link below for more information about our current tuition rates and associated fees. All tuition/fees subject to change
Financial Aid
Tuition assistance is available on the basis of demonstrated need through an application and evaluation process. If you believe that your resources are not sufficient to meet the total costs of a Trinity education, you are encouraged to apply. Financial aid at Trinity is provided either from a private congregational fund called the Education Grant Fund, or through the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program.
There are two options to choose from for tuition assistance:
- Trinity Lutheran School is a participant of the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program. Learn more about the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program by clicking the School Choice button below. If eligible for the program, your child may be able to attend Trinity Lutheran School for FREE!
- For those families that do not qualify for the WPCP we encourage you to contact the School Office to find out about more about the Education Grant Fund.
Wisconsin Parental School Choice Program
Trinity Lutheran School participates in the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program (WPCP), which allows eligible students who reside in Wisconsin to attend our school tuition-free. Our school, on behalf of the parent or guardian, receives a state-aid payment for each eligible student. Trinity has participated in the program since 2014.
Enrollment in the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program is open for several weeks each winter/spring.
Eligibility: Student eligibility is determined based on their family’s residence, income, and the student’s prior-year school attendance.
Residence: All students must provide documentation showing they live in the state of Wisconsin.
Prior-year school attendance: Students applying for a voucher must meet one of the following prior-year attendance Requirements:
- Attended a public school the previous school year
- Was not enrolled in school the previous school year or was homeschooled
- Attended a private school the previous school year (Trinity Lutheran School or a different private school) and is entering grades 4K, kindergarten, first or ninth in the current school year
- Participated in the WPCP the previous school year
Income: To qualify for a voucher, a new student must have a family income that meets certain criteria. The thresholds can be found on the Department of Public Instruction website here.
Payment of Allowable Fees: A Choice student cannot be charged fees for registration or application to the Choice program, books, teacher salaries, buildings, maintenance, equipment, or computers. A private school may charge a Choice student reasonable fees for certain personal use items.
Special Education Services: A Choice school may not discriminate against a student with special needs during the admissions process or elsewhere. However, as a private school, the Choice school is only required to offer those services to assist students with special needs that it can provide with minor adjustments. Parents should contact the public school district in which the private school is located for more information on the services provided to students with special needs enrolled in the public schools and the lesser services that school district provides to those students enrolled in private schools.
Once a student is accepted into the program, they can participate through 8th grade graduation at Trinity Lutheran School, provided they continue to meet the residency requirements. Students continuing in the program are not required to provide income documentation.
