What is Continuous Enrollment?

Once you enroll your child(ren) at LLA, you do nothing to re-enroll for future academic years. You will be assessed a non-refundable Annual Student Commitment Fee per student in April. This fee secures your child’s seat for the following academic year and allows the school to plan accordingly.

If your child(ren) currently attends LLA and will not return for the upcoming school year, you must complete the Decline Re-Enrollment Form by March 15 of each year to avoid paying the Annual Student Commitment Fee and a fee equivalent to 10 percent of your child’s annual tuition costs.

What are the fees?

The Annual Student Commitment Fee will be billed to each student’s SchoolCues account after April 1, 2023. Students who withdraw after the March 15 deadline will be billed the Annual Student Commitment Fee and a fee equivalent to 10 percent of your student’s 2024-2025 tuition.

*Fees will be capped at $150 per family.  

How do we pay our annual student commitment fee?

Annual Student Commitment Fees will be added to your current SchoolCues agreement.  

How will we be billed?

Your tuition payment plan will remain the same as it is for the current school year. (Annual, Quarter, Month) If you wish to change your payment plan option, please call (937) 315-2545.

Are new students charged the Annual Student Commitment Fee?

No, new students applying to attend Lifeway Lead Academy are not charged this fee. It’s only applied to current students returning the following academic year.

Why is it important to let the school know if we plan to withdraw?

Withdrawals have a significant impact on our upcoming school year. Plans are made well in advance for staffing, programming, materials, curriculum, and facility usage based on the number of students we expect for the school year. We strive to be fiscally responsible and to make wise decisions regarding our resources. For example, we make teacher hiring decisions each spring based on the number of students expected in each grade.

Also, the demand for Lead Academy has led us to create waitlists for some grades. It is important for us to know if a student is not returning so that we can notify waiting families that a seat is available for the following year.

Do I still need to contact the Admissions Office for any other reason?

Yes, there are circumstances that do require you to contact our Admissions Office. For example, please notify the Admissions Office about any changes in your student’s enrollment. Also keep us informed whenever you change addresses, phone numbers, or email addresses, or have a change in marital status and name, so we can keep our records accurate and up to date.
