Pre-K (4)= $175.00 per student Kindergarten (K-5)= $225 per student Grades 1-6 = $325 per student Grades 7 -8 = $375 per student Grades 9-12 = $425 per student Tuition Number of children Family pays Prepaid by 5/31 Prepaid by 8/1 1 Student K4-6th Grade $2,950 per year $2,655 $2,802.50 1 Student 7th-8th Grade $3,200 per year $2,880 $3,040.00 1 Student 9th-12th Grade $3,450 per year $3,105 $3,277.50 Discounts for Multiple Children: The oldest child pays full tuition 2nd child gets a 20% discount off their tuition 3rd child gets a 40% discount off their tuition 4th child gets a 60% discount off their tuition 5th child or more each gets a 80% discount How to use this chart: The tuition is the total amount paid by a family based on the grade level and number of children enrolled. The oldest child pays the full price- the discount for multiple children applies to the younger siblings from oldest to youngest. Tuition is to be paid in 10 payments (1/10th of total yearly fee) on a monthly basis- payable on the 1st day of each month beginning August 1st and ending on May 1st. There are discounts for families with more than one child enrolled (see above). Pre-payment discounts- 10% discount if entire year's tuition paid by May 31st. 5% discount if paid by August 1st. Example A family enrolling 3 children (K-4, 3rd grade and 7th grade) would pay: registration fees: $150 x 3 = $450 book and activity fee: $175 + $325 + $375 = $875 tuition: $3200 (oldest child's full tuition)+ $2360 (20% off of $2950) + $1770 (40% off of $2950) = $ 7,330.00 ($733.00 per month) If this family met the early registration deadline and prepaid tuition... registration fees: $125 x 3 = $375 tuition: $7330.00 -10% ($733)=$6,597 (a savings of $808) Discounts for children of church pastors and CCS staff-see Student Handbook Tuition and book/supply fees cover all other fees with the exception of extracurricular activities. Late payment fees apply - see Student Handbook A cooperative program for home-schoolers is available- please see below. Fee schedules are subject to change yearly. Home School Programs Please refer to the Home School programs page to see the fee schedule for the Home School Covering, the Enrichment Study Program, and the Cooperative Program. Payment Options Tuition can be paid yearly or in monthly installments. For your convenience, an automatic bank draft for monthly payments can be arranged with your financial institution. Please print this form, attach a voided cheque and return to it to the school office. Setting Tuition As we do not receive tax dollars, every expense, such as facilities, books, supplies and staff, must come from the families benefiting from them. We keep the tuition as low as possible to afford the greatest number of families the option to enroll. Our goal is not to have to charge many additional “fees” for each and every activity so that the tuition plus the activity/book fee is approximately the total cost and there will not be “hidden costs”. Because tuition only provides about 20% of our budget, some fundraising is inevitable. However, we want our students to devote themselves to learning, and not to being salesmen- selling unwanted items to family and friends. Financial Aid Our goal is to make CCS and its education available to all. Realistically there are families who will be unable to afford the tuition. We are reliant on donations from churches and charitable individuals to establish and maintain our scholarship fund. This money will be used to assist those who apply. These monies will be allocated prayerfully by the Board of Directors or the Financial Aid Committee based on need and availability. 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 tuitions, 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. A prepaid tuition program is being developed. 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 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. rev. 1/08 |
