Tuitions & Fees - 2011-2012

The La Sierra Academy Board pledges to keep tuition and fees as low as is consistent with good fiscal management.  La Sierra Academy reserves the right to adjust charges for tuition and fees at the second semester should unstable economic conditions warrant such adjustments.

Tuition Rates

The yearly tuition costs represent the total cost of educating each student in the respective grades for the entire year. The monthly installment plan is designed to help parents spread the cost of tuition over 10 months and does not intend to quantify an "amount" of education each month. Installments are due on the 10th of each month, starting August 2011. When the 10th falls on a holiday or weekend, tuition is due the following regular business day.

  Year Semester Month *Int'l

Non-Members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church

Tuition payments do not cover the full cost of operating La Sierra Academy. Members of the local Seventh-day Adventist Churches support Adventist education with substantial subsidies. La Sierra Academy reserves the right to charge higher rates for students who are not members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
