Bethlehem School is maintained by the members of Bethlehem Lutheran Church. All members of Bethlehem congregation, whether they have children enrolled in the school or not, lend financial support to the school. All parents of the school who are members of Bethlehem are asked to give liberally and sacrificially to the Lord's treasury in support of the total ministry of the congregation, including the school.

Parents have the option of making monthly payments for ten months or paying the tuition in full at the time of registration in August. For parents paying in ten monthly installments, the first tuition payment is due at the time of registration in August; other tuition payments are due the first of each month. Parents may elect to participate in the "Joyful Response" program. This program allows parents to have their tuition payments automatically transferred from their savings or checking account. There is no fee to use this service. Forms to enroll in the program are available from the school office or online at the link below.
