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 $48,000 (MS) and $52,000 (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 a confidential 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 State scholarships via Step Up for Students or AAA Scholarship is mandatory for all families in Tiers A-F. These scholarships partially subsidize the Indexed Tuition program and do not further reduce a family’s tuition tier amount.  

Families assigned to the Full Cost Tier are encouraged to apply for these scholarships as well, and may deduct any funds received from these scholarships from their tuition. As an example, a $48,000 Middle School Tuition could be reduced to approximately $40,000 or less.
