Join the Immanuel Family

The first step toward enrolling at Immanuel Lutheran School is to schedule a tour with an Admissions Specialist.

This personalized visit allows prospective families to explore our nurturing learning environment and engage with our dedicated staff. During the tour, families will have the opportunity to see our rigorous academic programs in action, learn about our strong curriculum, and discover how we integrate technology to enhance the learning experience. Additionally, the Admissions Specialist will answer any questions and provide valuable information about the enrollment process, ensuring that families feel informed and welcomed as they consider joining our community.

Applications are now open for the 2024-2025 School Year!

  • An entrance application and your child’s birth certificate must be submitted for all new students.  During your entrance application, you will be asked to select your tuition payment options.  We utilize Tuition Express for billing registration, tuition, and fees.

    A records release form should be completed for all students transferring from another school entering Grades 1-8 (and Kindergarten, if entering mid-year).  This will include most current report cards, standardized test scores, medical records, and any additional school related documents. You can access the records release form here.

  • Students entering Grades 1-8 may participate in a shadow day for part of the school day. Students will shadow in the grade in which they are currently enrolled. In order to participate in a shadow day, a tour must be completed.

  • Immanuel Lutheran gives up to $75,000 in needs-based financial aid each year to qualifying families.

    At Immanuel Lutheran School, we strongly believe that Christian education is not a commodity. It’s a ministry. It’s a commitment. It’s a connection–a connection of your child’s needs, your family philosophy and our philosophy. That’s why at ILS, the first and most important consideration is what is best educationally for your child. All other considerations are secondary.

    As a ministry to Christian families, it is our desire that no family seeking a Christ-centered education be denied due to a lack of financial resources. Money IS important, and tuition is an investment in the life of your child. That’s why Immanuel Lutheran has one of the most robust needs-based financial aid programs in our area to assist families who demonstrate a financial need through our FACTS process. FACTS is a highly confidential online, third-party vendor. Its goal is to assist in determining a financial need for our current and new families. We will be glad to share all the details and answer any questions you have about tuition and financial aid. Our goal is that money will not stand in the way for qualified families.

  • Those wishing to apply for financial assistance from Immanuel Palatine must first complete an application using FACTS.  Applications are currently open for the 2024-2025 school year.  Applications will be reviewed at regular intervals throughout the year.  Once the committee has met, they will communicate the financial award amounts.  Please be aware that FACTS Management charges a $40 processing/handling fee.  To complete the tuition assistance application, you will be asked to provide your most recent tax return documents. Be sure to explain your financial hardship in the notes section.
