Lumen Christi Catholic School

Can I use Indiana funding at Lumen Christi Catholic School?

Lumen Christi Catholic School is on the Indiana Department of Education's 2026-27 list of participating Choice schools, with instruction listed as in person. The 2025-26 annual report shows no period-one Choice count for it, which usually means the school is new to the program.

Your voucher amount comes from where you live, not from the school's address: for 2026-27 it runs from $6,395 for a Carmel Clay resident to $7,456 for an IPS-area resident, and Lumen Christi Catholic School receives the lesser of that figure and its tuition and fees.

The NCES Private School Survey (2023-24) reports 131 students, 18 full-time-equivalent teachers, 83% of its most recent graduates going on to four-year colleges.

Catholic families here usually apply the voucher first, then ask the parish about member pricing and the school about SGO and need-based aid. Its pre-K years sit outside the voucher; On My Way Pre-K and SGO grants (from age four) are the routes there.
