Every December, the LMS board of directors sets tuition rates for the upcoming school year. In recent years, we have kept, and continue to keep, tuition adjustments lower than inflation or in line with inflation, while also ensuring a strong educational program and robust compensation package for our teachers and staff.

Before And After School
The Before and After School Program (BASP) at LMS offers toddlers through middle school students a place to play, be with friends, and learn. Parents’ extended care needs are met while their children experience a familiar environment. Students enrolled in BASP can be dropped off as early as 7:45am, and picked up as late as 5:30pm. Before And After School hours are available at an extra cost. Actual costs depend on what time students are dismissed. A sample of BASP fees are below.

Financial Aid at LMS
Our goal is to ensure that an LMS education is accessible to a broad socio-economic spectrum of families. LMS’ financial aid program provides need-based aid to families who might not otherwise be able to attend LMS. We believe that socio-economic diversity enriches our community.
To apply for financial aid:
- Application: Fill out the application form on Clarity here by January 31, 2025. Note: this does not replace the admission application, but is an additional step in the admission process.
- Notification: You will be notified of your qualification and grant with your admission decision.
- More information: Visit our Financial Aid Guidelines and Policies or contact Aimee Randall, Director of Enrollment, if you have any questions.
