TUITION

Michigan Lutheran High School tuition is set at two separate rates for the 2025-2026 School Year. Since MLHS is owned and operated by 10 area Wisconsin Ev. Lutheran Synod (WELS) churches who help fund the school through their offerings, students who are members of one of those churches receive a membership discount. The cost per student is just over $11,000, so all students receive a generous discount to begin.

Members of a WELS church – $7240/year

Not Members of a WELS church – $7995/year

2nd Students from the same family receive a $1400 discount.

ALL may apply for financial aid. We make it a goal of ours to work with each family to not allow tuition to be the reason someone does not attend MLHS. Contact our president, Mr. Herbst, for more information. 269-429-7861 ext. 204
