We know that cost can be a barrier for some families, that's why we offer a variety of financial aid and scholarship opportunities. Our caring donors and permanent endowments help make a St. Croix Lutheran Academy education affordable. American families may apply for need-based tuition assistance at StCroixLutheran.org/scholarships in tandem with their admissions application. We want you to have all the facts before you enroll!
Student Life
Providing excellent academics and activities goes hand in hand with a comfortable, safe learning environment. SCLA students are treated as family by caring, Christian teachers and staff. Students interact daily with a diverse population of students from the local community and around the world. SCLA's international students make up 25% of the student population, coming from over 15 countries worldwide.
We want to provide an ongoing Christian education experience for our kids. As our oldest daughter starts her college experience, it has been reassuring to know that she has a solid foundation for faith-based decision making and discernment. I love that my kids can be involved in a variety of activities. It’s also special they have friends from all over the world.

Academics
SCLA’s Christian college-preparatory program has a reputation for excellence in a friendly and safe environment with supportive instructors. With a challenging curriculum and small class sizes, SCLA is an outstanding educational value.
SCLA is the perfect size. The faculty is big enough that they can specialize and get really good at the things they do, but it still has a family atmosphere.

Support
SCLA employs a dedicated college guidance team and offers personal counseling to students and families who are struggling. In addition to our full-time pastors, we partner with Christian Family Solutions to offer spiritual and personal guidance when needed.
St. Croix is an amazing school. Teachers and staff are very supportive,
and my son loves this school. SCLA Parent
