Tuition
The state spends an average of $6779 per student each year. The national average is $7734 per student per year. Private Christian schools in this areas charge between $4000 and $11,000 for full time students each year. While the church does not charge us for rent, and the time the chaplain devotes to our students, our staffing cost, materials, supplies, insurance and operating cost must be covered by tuition and fund raisers. Currently the annual auction is our major fund raising event. Full time students are in school 6 hours and 15 minutes for 180 days. We charge $5.78 per hour and have only made slight increases in our tuition during the 10years we have been open. Part day preschool programs are charged at a higher hourly rate due to the lower adult to child ratio that we have chosen to maintain.
Other Costs
We have attempted to keep additional costs to a minimum. Uniforms, school supplies, occasional snacks, field trip transportation fees, weekly reader fees for some classes and small fees for special projects are the only additional costs you should incur. Individual student pictures, class pictures, after school enrichment classes and tutoring are all optional fees.
