Ways to Reduce Tuition (for the 2024/2025 school year)
The administration of CCS strives to make Christian education affordable for all families who desire and value their enrollment at CCS. The admissions team is always considering ways to support and help our families with tuition. Here are several ways to reduce your 2024-25 tuition costs:
-
Returning Family Credit – If the 2024/2025 enrollment reaches 416 students, for each returning student, families will receive a $100 credit that will be applied to the family’s 24/25 tuition. If the 24/25 enrollment reaches 426 students, the returning student credit will increase to $275. All returning PS, ES, MS, and HS domestic students are eligible for this credit. The credit will be pro-rated for part-time students.
-
New Student Discount –Every family receives $500 per student for each new student enrolled in grades K-12 the first year the student is at CCS. If the student re-enrolls the following year, they will receive an additional $500 credit.
-
Referring Family Incentive – There are two ways to receive the referring family incentive:
-
Referring Family Credit: Current families who refer a new family to CCS will receive a $600 tuition credit when the new family enrolls and their children attend classes.
-
EITC/OSTC Referral Credit: CCS families may earn a $250 credit when a new business, referred by them, joins the EITC/OSTC program. Funds received from existing participants are not eligible.
-
-
Roll-Over Credits:
-
Preschool to Kindergarten Credit: Families whose child(ren) attends the CCS preschool and enrolls in Kindergarten will receive a $1,000 tuition credit.
-
Kindergarten through 5th Grade Credit: For every full year a child attends CCS, Kindergarten through 5th grade, that family will accrue $100 toward a 6th grade tuition credit. Families can accrue a maximum of $600 toward their child’s 6th-grade tuition if they attend CCS from Kindergarten through 5th grade.
-
6th through 8th Grade Credit: For every full year a child attends CCS, 6th through 8th grade, that family will accrue $150 toward a 9th grade tuition credit. Families can accrue a maximum of $450 toward their child’s 9th-grade tuition if they attend CCS from 6th through 8th grade.
-
Senior Year Credit: For every full year, grades 9 through 11, that a student takes at least 5 classes at CCS, their family will accrue $150 toward that student's 12th-grade year (as long as they are enrolled in at least 5 CCS classes as a senior). Families can accrue a maximum of $450 toward their student's 12th-grade tuition.
-
Senior Year Longevity Credit: Senior year students who attend CCS from Kindergarten through 11th grade, as a full-time student each year, will accrue $150 per year giving them a $1,800 senior year credit (as long as they are enrolled in at least 5 classes).

-
International Student Host Credit – Families that host an international student for an entire school year will receive a $750 tuition credit. The family will also receive a host family stipend that is paid directly from the international student’s agency. Host family stipends vary depending on the sending agency.
-
Early Payment Incentive – A 2% tuition discount is given to families who pay their annual tuition in full no later than June 15, 2024.
-
Church And Mission Agency Staff Incentive – Families who are currently employed full-time at a church or mission agency receive an automatic 10% tuition discount. If the family member is employed part-time, the percent of full-time is credited toward this discount; for example, a family member working 50% at a church or mission agency would receive 50% of this discount – an automatic 5% discount.
-
Tuition Assistance – Families who demonstrate a financial need can apply for tuition assistance. CCS uses FAST (third-party organization) to determine needs. CCS gave out over $350,000 in tuition assistance in 2023-24. Tuition assistance is available for qualifying families with children in K-12 grades.
