Dining Program Cost
Built Into Tuition
LCA includes educational costs within tuition. This program is paid through annual tuition for grades 1–12 — no separate lunch accounts or daily register transactions.
The average tuition allocation is approximately $1,100 per year per child — roughly $110 per month or $6.50 per meal, often offsetting packed-lunch costs.
