Luther Memorial School

Can a voucher be used at Luther Memorial School?

Yes, if the school is taking scholarship students this year. Ohio's state school directory (OEDS) lists Luther Memorial School (IRN 060343) as a chartered nonpublic school. Because it sits in the city, many families here live inside the Cleveland Metropolitan School District and use the Cleveland Scholarship, which has no income test; families commuting in from the suburbs use EdChoice or EdChoice Expansion instead. Either way the 2026-27 maximum is $6,166 for grades K-8, paid to the school toward tuition.

Since the school enrolls pre-K, ask whether its preschool takes Cuyahoga County's Universal Pre-K scholarship, the Ohio Preschool Program or publicly funded child care. The vouchers begin at kindergarten.

Christian schools around Cleveland often price for church members and siblings, and the Lutheran Scholarship Granting Organization of Ohio and the Hearthside Christian Scholarship Fund are among the local SGOs that fund Christian school scholarships.

What should we ask Luther Memorial School before we enroll?

1. Will you file a Cleveland Scholarship or an EdChoice application for my child for 2026-27, and are seats open in that grade?
2. Once the voucher is applied, what do we still owe, and what do registration, books, devices and uniforms add?
3. Do you discount for siblings or members, award need-based aid, or receive money from a tax-credit SGO?
4. Which documents do you need from us to file the application, and when?
5. Does your preschool accept Universal Pre-K, the Ohio Preschool Program or child care subsidy?
