Tuition and Tuition Assistance
At Trinity Christian School, tuition covers the expenses associated with operating the school.
Each January our Board of Directors approves the tuition for the subsequent school year. Our board is committed to providing an excellent - but affordable - academic program for families seeking a Christian education.
Tuition
Non-Member Tuition - Family pays full cost of tuition.
Trinity Corp (TC) Member Tuition - The founding members of Trinity Christian School desired to create a Christian school that would be affordable to all students desiring a Christian education regardless of their economic status. Using the example of the early Church in Acts where the believers shared with one another (Acts 2:42-47), the community of Trinity developed the plan called TC Membership to share the burden of tuition among its members. Through TC Membership, families make a financial pledge in addition to the member tuition with the goal being that the sum total of all the members' pledges meet or exceed the non-member tuition rate. In order to assist families with their pledge, fundraising opportunities are made available. We know that not all families are able to pledge equal amounts and recognize that there will be equal sacrifice but not equal giving (2 Corinthians 8:12-15). When the total pledge amounts consistently exceed the non-member tuition rate, tuition can be reduced and TC members will have the joy of knowing they are being a blessing to one another.
Acts 2:42-47 (NIV) They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
Families have two options for paying tuition:
- A single payment
- Monthly payments
Families will be asked to confirm their payment option at the time of enrollment or re-enrollment.

Tuition Assistance
No one should be deterred by financial reasons when submitting an application for admissions enrollment to Trinity Christian School. Trinity Christian School offers a tuition assistance program for families entering kindergarten through the 12th grade to provide financial assistance to families who demonstrate and qualify for need as determined by a third-party organization.
Trinity Christian School works hard to provide a tuition assistance program which bridges the gap between tuition and what a family can afford. The assistance, intended as a supplement to a family's resources, is not restricted to only families whose ability to pay tuition is limited; but also available to those families who may only need a small award.
Tuition assistance awards, and the amount of the awards, are not guaranteed to be the same from year to year. The amount of assistance awarded to families will be based on the level of the families' qualifications and will be allocated from the tuition assistance budget.
During the annual budget process, the Board of Directors establishes the amount of monies available for tuition assistance for the next school year. The Board of Directors, and the designated tuition assistance committee, is mindful of their obligation to utilize the limited tuition assistance funds responsibly and to act as good stewards with the school's resources.
How to Apply for Tuition Assistance
Trinity Christian School utilizes the services of FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment (FACTS) in assessing the financial need of the families applying for tuition assistance.
