Liberty Bible Academy

What Liberty Bible Academy does

Liberty Bible Academy is a private 501(c)(3) Christian day school operating on a 12-acre campus at 4900 Old Irwin Simpson Road in Mason, Ohio, and has been in continuous operation since 1984. It serves students from preschool through grade 12, organized across a North Campus for preschool and kindergarten and a Main Campus for grades 1–12, with a headcount of approximately 43 employees. The curriculum is Christ-centered across all grade levels and is supplemented by STEM and technology instruction, fine arts (music, band, drama), athletics (basketball and volleyball), annual mission trips, and a Discovery Program that supports students with diverse learning needs. The school also maintains a federally authorized international student program (I-20 issuance) drawing students from China, Spain, Haiti, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, South Korea, and Vietnam.

Liberty Bible Academy earns revenue primarily through recurring annual tuition billed monthly (ranging from roughly $3,645 for two-day preschool up to $9,972 for high school), plus a one-time $100 application fee, a $275 annual registration fee, a $500 international student processing fee, and ancillary recurring services such as before- and aftercare (7:30 AM–5:30 PM) and a hot lunch program operated via DC Catering and LaRosa's Pizza. As a non-profit, it supplements tuition with charitable contributions processed through Stripe, recurring gifts, matching gift programs, securities and real estate donations, and the Ohio Scholarship Donation Tax Credit channeled through the Every Child Every Family organization (up to $1,500 per family in state tax credit). EdChoice Scholarships ($650–$8,408 by grade level and income), sibling discounts (15–30%), referral credits (4%), and staff credits (up to 75%) further subsidize tuition.

The school runs a sales-led, relationship-driven go-to-market centered on private campus tours, rolling year-round admissions, shadow days, entrance assessments, and parent/student interviews managed through RenWeb (now FACTS). Marketing is concentrated on the school's website, a Facebook page, email, phone outreach, and a Google Calendar public school calendar. Operating technology is conventional: RenWeb ParentsWeb serves as the family/student portal, Google Calendar handles scheduling, and Stripe processes online donations. Distribution relies on direct enrollment for local families, three coordinated bus routes with Mason City, Kings, and Lakota public school districts, and the At Home Abroad international student agency, supported by partnerships with the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), Back2Back Ministries, and Restore St. Louis for mission work.
