These are the numbers the school gave the U.S. Department of Education for the 2023-24 school year, published in July 2026. The survey counts students in kindergarten to grade 12, not pre-K. Enrollment and staffing move every year, so ask the school for today’s figures. Where this comes from. Something wrong? Tell us and we will fix it.

St. John Lutheran School tuition

Questions to ask St. John Lutheran School

  1. What is the full-year tuition for my child’s grade, and which fees are required on top of it?

Tell me if Illinois starts a program

Illinois has no program that pays private school tuition today. It could still start one, or opt in to the federal scholarship tax credit that starts in 2027. Leave your email and we will write once, with the official link, if Illinois starts a program or scholarships under the federal credit open. That is the only email you get.

One email if that happens. No calls, no sharing your details.
