“Some know the value of education by having it. I know its value by not having it. ”

– Frederick Douglas

A JLA education is an unparalleled investment in your child’s future and in the future of our community.

Need-Blind Admission
Families who can afford to fully fund their investment will be required to do so. However, we do not believe that ability to pay should be a criteria in the admissions process, and we are committed to enrolling every student that is accepted into the school, regardless of their financial means. The admissions process is therefore “need blind”  and JLA is dedicated to fully integrating mission appropriate students from all socio-economic backgrounds into the fabric of school life.  

Indexed Tuition Program
Full annual tuition of $50,000 (MS) and $52,500 (US) reflects the true cost of a JLA education. However, our Indexed Tuition program endeavors to ensure that each family’s tuition fees are uniquely scaled to meet their individual means. Families interested in applying for indexed tuition must complete an assessment through our confidential ITAP application designed to determine which one of JLA’s seven tuition amounts is the most meaningful, yet affordable, indexed tuition tier for their family.

Applying for the State of Florida Private School Scholarships via Step Up for Students or AAA is strongly encouraged and any funds received from these scholarships may be deducted from tuition. As an example, a $50,000 Middle School Tuition could be reduced to approximately $42,000 or less.

Indexed Tuition Calculator

In order to facilitate transparency between JLA and prospective families, we have created a tuition estimator to give a sense of what their Indexed Tuition tier may be. While a final determination can only be made after a review of your completed ITAP application, this tool will help to provide an estimate based solely on the parameters shared with us below.

The Indexed Tuition tier estimated on the following screen is based on the basic parameters you’ve provided.

A more thorough review and final determination will be made based on your completed ITAP application.

This estimator is meant only to give you a rough sense of what your Indexed Tuition tier may be at JLA.

Based on the information that you have provided your estimated tuition would be [Tuition-Cost] per child enrolled.

This reflects the amount of tuition that you would be responsible for, before any State of Florida Private School Scholarships are applied.

Applying for State scholarships via Step Up for Students or AAA is highly encouraged for all families, and any funds received may be deducted from the tuition tier amount. See examples to the right.
