Tuition, Fees, & Financial Policies
At Carmel Latin School, our goal is to be able to provide our program of academic excellence to as many students as possible. Carmel Latin School participates in the Indiana Choice Scholarship Program, known widely as the "Voucher" program, starting with the 2026-27 school year. Vouchers can reduce the cost of tuition by approximately $6,000 to $7,300 per student per school year. To learn more, visit the Indiana Choice Scholarship page.
Tuition & Fee Schedules are posted no later than January for the next school year.
Tuition 2026-27
Tuition covers the general cost for faculty, facilities rental and management, security and administrative support. The total payment schedule includes Tuition and the Books & Materials fee which offsets the cost of consumable and shared textbooks, materials and supplies for PE, Art and Choir and photocopies distributed to each student throughout the year. Uniforms and optional items such as hot lunch and extra-curriculars are paid for separately. All fees are non-refundable.
FACTS Tuition Management System
Carmel Latin School partners with FACTS Tuition Management Company to process tuition payments. They use automatic payments by credit card or bank account draw. FACTS charges a 3.05% fee for credit card transaction(s). There is an annual one-time processing fee to FACTS, depending on what payment plan your family selects.
Fees & Financial Policies
Enrollment Fees
A non-refundable enrollment/re-enrollment fee of $250 per student is collected with the successful completion of the enrollment packet for new and returning students.
Returning Students
For all returning students, the re-enrollment fee increases per the following schedule.
New Students
An application for a new student can be submitted here. A non-refundable application fee of $100 is charged with the submission of the application with a maximum amount of $200 per family. Once a student is accepted into CLS, the enrollment fee due date will be specified on the acceptance letter. Seats in classes are not reserved beyond the enrollment due date on the acceptance letter.
Withdrawal Policy
It is our desire to remain fiscally responsible and be good stewards of the financial commitment our families have made to their children’s education. As such, to maintain a sound operating budget, Carmel Latin School has authorized a schedule for payment of tuition in the event an enrolled student withdraws from the school during the school year, or for the upcoming school year.
If a family chooses to withdraw an enrolled student, they must notify Admissions and will need to complete a Withdrawal Form.
Financial Assistance
CLS offers the opportunity to apply for financial assistance to families that have a financial need. CLS has limited funding for financial assistance and amounts are based solely on financial need. Families who would like to be considered for CLS financial assistance are required to fill out a Financial Aid Assistance Form, which can be obtained from the Admissions Director or the Director of Finance and Accounting. Applications for the 2026 – 2027 school year must be completed and submitted to the Director of Finance by February 15, 2026. Contact Lindy Orr at lorr@indylatinschool.org. Financial Assistance decisions will be communicated by March 15, 2026.
Uniforms
Uniforms are required for in-class days and choir performances. Uniforms are purchased through Tommy Hilfiger Global Schoolwear and Highlands School Uniforms. A detailed list of the school uniform options are provided upon acceptance at Carmel Latin School. Uniform costs will vary depending on grade level uniform requirements and optional items chosen.
School Supplies
Parents are provided with a list of school supplies to purchase for the first day of school. These supplies may last the whole school year or may need to be replenished throughout the year, depending on use.
