Admissions Info for 2025/2026
Cost of Tuition
Tuition for the 2025-2026 school year is $9,500 per student, payable in ten monthly installments of approximately $850 +tax. This includes a $1,000 non-refundable enrollment fee upon acceptance. Tuition is subject to increases on an annual basis.
Currently Accepting New Students
We are currently accepting new learners for a January 2026 start in each of our studios. Because LAKE Academy was created to help local learners, we do give priority to families local to the Grand Rapids and surrounding areas.
Start Dates
The LAKE Academy calendar works in short sprints called sessions. Each session is approximately 5-7 weeks long with a week break between each session. A new student has several opportunities to enter LAKE Academy throughout the year. See our calendar for session dates.
