Tuition & Transportation
LDCSS receives no government funding for its program or facilities. Our school programs and facilities are supported through tuition, through generous donations from donors who support Christian education, as well as from school rental income.
Tuition fees are set annually by the Board of Directors, and affirmed at the spring membership meeting. A substantial portion of the tuition fees are eligible for a charitable donation receipt for the person paying the tuition.
For the 2012-2013 school year the tuition for a family with one child at LDCSS is $11,563. There is a 20% discount for families that have children enrolled in another Christian school. There is a 10% increase for families with more than one child attending LDCSS. Bussing is a separate fee and costs vary based on location.
Tuition fees cover the cost of activities that are compulsory for a class or grade level, as well as the cost of textbooks. In addition, students pay a Student Activities fee, ($50 in 2012/13), and also purchase personal study aids such as notebooks and calculators. Students may also be required to contribute towards admission costs for field trips or the cost of extended field trips or long distance travel for sporting events, (see FAQs).
Tuition fees are due and payable by either pre-authorized payment or post-dated cheques, no later than July 31st, prior to the beginning of the applicable school year.

A similar bus service is available for students in London, depending on location, and a fee of approximately $1,500 per family is charged, (beyond the base cost of tuition). Other families participate in car pools, and a number of our senior students drive to school on a daily basis. The school is also accessible by London Transit buses.
