2024-25 Tuition
Income-based Tuition
At Life International Academy, we uphold the belief that high-quality education should be accessible to every child, regardless of their socioeconomic status. To support this, we've implemented an income-based tuition model for the 2024-2025 academic year. Our out-of-pocket tuition fees are tailored to household finances, ranging from 1.0% to 10.0% of the household's Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). Depending on eligibility for Florida scholarships, annual tuition at Life International Academy can vary, ranging from as low as $500 to a maximum of $10,000 per academic year. Beginning in 2023, all Florida residents have become eligible for scholarships to attend private schools, regardless of income level. We strongly encourage families to apply for these scholarships as early as possible, maximizing their chances of securing financial support and enhancing educational opportunities.

We are dedicated to ensuring affordability for all families. We supplement our efforts through the Florida scholarship funds and the support of generous partners and donors to bridge the financial gap through our "GIFT LIFE" initiative. Our tuition covers a 10-month program from August to May and includes all essential elements such as books, educational materials, testing, technology, uniforms, and a daily nutritious lunch (All fees are included). While students have the option to pack their own lunch, it's important to note that, for the safety of our students, we maintain a Nut-Free school environment and prioritize instilling healthy eating habits (our food guidelines provided in parents handbook).
