2025-2026 Fees

Application Fee

This one-time charge of $100 covers the costs associated with data collection, academic testing, and staff administration for prospective students and is paid online via credit card when a new student applies.

Registration Fee

This annual charge of $275 partially covers enrollment costs, textbooks and supplies, school-sponsored field trips, student technology, preschool snacks and shirts, and some student incentives. This non-refundable fee is paid via check or account charge when a student enrolls and may be paid all at once or spread over two months. Enrollments are not complete and seats are not awarded to students until this fee is paid.

Financial Aid

Sibling Credit

Families with multiple students enrolled at Liberty Bible Academy receive a 15% tuition credit for the second-oldest student and 30% tuition credit for all subsequent students.

Referral Credit

Referring families receive a 4% tuition credit for their oldest child for one year. The referred family must enroll a new student at LBA and confirm the referring family on their Online Application prior to acceptance.

Staff Credit

Staff members with children whose tuition is not otherwise provided for through a scholarship receive credit based on their employment contract up to 75% of tuition. Additionally, employees working at least 20 hours per week receive a 50% application and registration fee credit.

Grades K-12 EdChoice Scholarship

The Educational Choice (EdChoice) Scholarship Program provides a state scholarship to every student entering kindergarten through grade 12. The current scholarship range is $650 to $8,408 and is awarded based on grade level, household income level, and the school district of residence. Application instructions are at http://go.lba.fyi/edchoice.

Ohio Scholarship Donation Tax Credit

LBA receives additional scholarship funds donated by LBA families and friends to an organization called Every Child Every Family. Award amounts vary and are based on demonstrated financial needs. No application is necessary for this scholarship, it is awarded automatically as funds are available.

Note: If you or your family/friends live in Ohio and donate to this fund in honor of Liberty Bible Academy, LBA will receive the donated money for student tuition and the State of Ohio will provide a 100% tax credit for the donor, up to $1,500 per family. It’s a win-win!

Other Programs

Beforecare and Aftercare

Students may be dropped off as early as 7:30 AM and picked up as late as 5:30 PM for families who register for Beforecare and Aftercare services. These programs are only available to students enrolled at LBA, and payment will be included in monthly tuition payments. We are currently updating and streamlining our Beforecare and Aftercare program to better serve families. Details, including registration, fees, and guidelines, will be published and communicated to LBA families by July 2025.

International Students

International students pay tuition plus a $500 processing fee. If, due to an English language learning need, a student begins performing poorly in class or on standardized assessments, an additional requirement may be made for the student to receive tutoring outside the school setting, which would likely come at an additional cost.

Dual Credit and College Credit Plus

High school students may take a variety of dual credit courses, which allow qualifying high school students to earn college and high school credits at the same time. Instruction may occur at the LBA campus via online university coursework or off-campus with a local university. Families may apply for state funding or choose the Parent-Pay Option.

Tuition Payment Options

Families may choose to pay tuition in full. The annual tuition amount is due in full directly to Liberty Bible Academy on or before July 1 each year.

Families may also opt for an interest-free monthly installment plan, divided as follows:

Grades K-12: Twelve (12) equal monthly installments, due July through June
Preschool: Nine (9) monthly installments, due September through May

Alternate payment plans may also be available for families who enroll late, have students at multiple campuses, or have other scheduling needs.

Tuition Adjustments

Tuition is prorated for students enrolling mid-year. If a student withdraws, any remaining tuition balance is due at the time of withdrawal. LBA does not issue tuition refunds once an enrollment contract is signed. In cases of extenuating circumstances, families may submit a written tuition refund request, which will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the administration.
