How much does FLEC cost?
Why is Kindergarten constituent tuition lower than non-constituent tuition?
FLEC is financially supported by six constituent churches:
- Altamonte Springs Seventh-day Adventist Church
- Apopka Seventh-day Adventist Church
- Forest Lake Seventh-day Adventist Church
- Markham Woods Seventh-day Adventist Church
- Orlando Filipino Seventh-day Adventist Church
- Spring Meadows Seventh-day Adventist Church
These churches financially support their member’s students who attend FLEC. This is why there is a lower tuition rate for families who are members at one of our constituent churches.
Why is PreK not offered Constituent tuition?
PreK is a flat rate system. FLEC accepts the VPK voucher which offsets the costs. Also, AfterCare is free for VPK students.
How much should I expect to still pay with the VPK voucher?
Parents will need to pay about $400/month on top of the VPK subsidy (numbers based on 20-21 school year). AfterCare is free for VPK students.
How is FLEC protecting students against Covid-19?
Does FLEC have a school nurse?
