It will be required that our families enroll with FACTS if they choose to pay by installments. FACTS Management Company now manages billing for CCS. Therefore, AFTER you have paid registration fees AND received a letter of acceptance, you will need to enroll with FACTS and choose a billing option. There is an annual fee to FACTS of $41 or $45 depending on which option you choose.

You will be given the option of paying on the 5th or the 20th of each month. Enrollment with FACTS must be completed at least 14 days prior to your first payment date. (Example: If you choose the 5th as your due date and you want to enroll on the 12 month payment plan to reduce your monthly payment, you will have to enroll by May 17th.)

Tuition Financing

Understanding that your child's education is an investment, several options are available. We have made arrangements with several local bankers to make tuition loans available to our parents with payments over 10 months. Also, private school's tuition, like CCS, qualify for Coverdale IRA and tax-deferred educational savings plans. Unused balances can be kept for college expenses. Grandparents too can open or deposit to these accounts.

Referral Discount

CCS will offer a $40 discount incentive to current families for each new student who enrolls with a card identifying which current family invited them to join CCS. (plus those new students brought in by an existing CCS family will receive $15 off the registration fee)

Home School Programs

Please refer to the Home School programs page to see the fee schedule for the Home School Cooperative Program. Only when multiple children are enrolled in CCS does the multi-child discount apply for regular tuition. We cannot discount regular tuition by factoring in a Home-School sibling for a multi-child discount. For a student applicant that has been denied regular admission into CCS, Application/Registration Fees are not refunded but should the family decide to enroll into our Home-School Co-op program, we will waive the enrollment fee. Book fees for a Co-op student will vary per subject.

Pastor's Tuition Discount

Cullman Christian School offers a tuition discount to church pastors (full-time and bi-vocational) and to other full-time Christian workers, ministers, missionaries. We recognize there are many ministers in the body of Christ and the Board reserves the right to evaluate the applicability of the pastoral discount to each candidate. The Pastor's Tuition Discount guidelines are: Tuition rates for pastors include a 25% discount. The full book usage and activity fee plus the registration fee per student is required upon registration. Pastors and CCS employees are not eligible for additional prepayment discounts.
