I'd hardly characterize LCMS teaching as "extreme." Pretty standard for non-mainline protestants. Immanuel seems like a lovely community and the school doesn't seem homogeneous at all.

I'm a teacher and can't really afford to work but my kids need to eat and have somewhere to live so...

If you still have enough money after childcare costs to contribute to housing and food costs, then you obviously can afford to work...? I meant parents who literally make less money than what childcare would cost because of low salaries and/or underemployment.

Um, in those cases, the parents can't afford private school. There are very few full-ride scholarships, including at ILS. Some parent contribution is expected, usually in the range of 60% of tuition for most private schools.
