Tuition covers ALL school expenses except the uniform, optional lunches, and after-school childcare. Teaching resources, textbooks, school supplies, field trips and most other costs are included in the tuition.
A $1,000 deposit per student is due in May. When students enroll after May of the year before they are scheduled to attend Lakecrest or after the school year has begun, the payment schedule is adjusted accordingly.

The Board of Directors approves the school budget and rates of tuition in the spring of each year for the following school year. Tuition revenues cover all of the budgeted operating costs of the school. The budget is based on the number of students confirmed enrolled in the school for the coming year. Teacher assignments, textbook purchases and the normal expenses of running the school cannot be changed once the new school year begins. Tuition is therefore non-refundable. If a child is withdrawn from Lakecrest Independent School, for any reason at any time after payment of the deposit, no refunds are able to be given and parents agree to make any outstanding payments in accordance with the payment option selected during enrollment or re-enrollment.
