We Offer Affordable Tuition and TADS Tuition Assistance
St. Michael Lutheran School is able to offer some tuition assistance to qualifying families in grades Kindergarten through 8. The amount of tuition assistance available varies from year to year because all tuition assistance money is generated annually from many special events as well as generous donations of individuals. We use the services of TADS, a national company which specializes in analyzing financial need.
This company reviews applications and supporting financial records and gives recommendations regarding a family's ability to pay. The tuition assistance committee tries to honor those recommendations as funds allow.
We are the only Christian school located in Portage that is able to offer this type of assistance.
