Service Project

Lourdes Academy has collected over 1000 food items for the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry!!!  Truly, God's love shines through our children's service to the hungry in our community.  Each item donated earned a chance to cut Coach Van Auken's hair... stay tuned for the announcement of the winner!  

Congratulations!

On Monday, Hailey N. (grade 8) and Ryan A. (grade 7) won our team player award.  Previous winners include Stephanie Correia (grade 6), Ar'mondre P. (grade 7), Matthew L. (grade 4), Tylee F. (grade 3), Dennis V. (grade 5), Mashanti C. (grade 1), Johnny M. (grade 8), Sierra Y. (grade 3), Romello N. (grade 4), Lea G. (grade 7), and Justin S. (grade 1) . Coach VanAuken gives out this award each week to the student who best displays good sportsmanship in Physical Education classes or as a team player overall.

Volunteers Needed

Lourdes Academy is only successful because of the involvement of our families.  To volunteer in Catholic schools, you must be cleared through our background screening process.  Background screens conducted by other agencies cannot be accepted.  Please visit the Diocese of Orlando website and click on Fingerprinting.  Volunteers must also complete the Safe Environment training on the same site.  Thank you for your service!

$441.67 per month per child for 12 months.  Payments begin in July.  First

As we continue in these challenging economic times, Lourdes Academy is committed to working with parents in an ongoing effort to keep our tuition at an affordable rate.

The 2012-2013 tuition rate will remain the same as it was in 2010-2011 and 2011-2012.

Please note that this tuition rate is all-inclusive:  tuition, books, and registration fees are all covered.  As with the past few years, staffing will be equal to enrollment. Academics, sports, and arts programs have been increased, not eliminated. The pastoral staff, as well as the faculty and administration of Lourdes Academy, recognize that our students are not responsible for the state of the economy and their education remains our priority.




Financial Assistance 

The Step Up for Students Tuition Grant Program is available for those who meet the family financial qualification guidelines.  To apply, click on:  
Step Up For Students Scholarship Application, or make an appointment to do the application here at school with Mrs. Patty Huard.

For Parish Assistance: A FACTS Grant & Aid Application must be submitted before any tuition assistance other than Step Up for Students or McKay will be granted.

For Free or Reduced-Price Lunch:  An application is required.  You may pick up an application in the main office or by clicking here.  Reduced-price lunch is 40 cents per day.  Applications for free and reduced-price lunch in the 2012-2013 school year will be available at Back-to-School Night in August.
