Financial Assistance
We believe finances shouldn't stand in the way of a quality Christian education. Eastside offers several opportunities to help make tuition more affordable:
-
Eligible Wisconsin families may qualify for state-funded tuition through the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program, making private Christian education more affordable.
-
Reduce your tuition through everyday shopping. Purchase gift cards for groceries, gas, dining, and more to earn tuition credit while supporting Eastside's ministry.

-
Flexible monthly payment plans are available, allowing families to spread their Easside Lutheran tuition payments throughout the school year.
Withdrawal Policies
We understand that family circumstances can change. If you need to withdraw your child after enrollment, please contact the school office as soon as possible. Our team will work with your family to discuss the withdrawal process, any remaining tuition obligations, and how to ensure a smooth transition for your student.
For specific financial obligations or withdrawal timelines, please contact the school office.
Tuition Policies
Eastside's tuition is based on three primary tuition tiers to reflect our church's support of Christian education.

During this time, families participate in Bible Information Class (BIC). Upon completion, they become members of Eastside Lutheran Church. Families who do not complete the process within the two-year period will work with the pastors to establish a plan or transition to Tier 3 tuition.
