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 or 12 payments on a monthly basis- payable on the 1st day of each month beginning June 1st and ending on May 1st. There are discounts for families with more than one child enrolled (see above). Pre-payment discounts- 4% discount if entire year's tuition paid by May 31st. These discounts are available for K5-12th grade only. Example: A new family enrolling 3 children (K-4, 3rd grade and 7th grade) would pay: registration fees: $100 +$150 +$150 = $400 tuition: $4300 (oldest child's full tuition)+ $3,440 ($4050-$500 book fee=3550, 20%of 3550=2840. 2840+500=3340) + $2875 (no discount for K-4) = $ 10,615.00 ($885 per month) If this family met the early registration deadline and prepaid tuition... a savings of $416. Notes: Discounts for children of church pastors and CCS staff-see Student Handbook Tuition covers books and 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. 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 already includes usage of textbooks and equipment (which remain the property of CCS). It also covers lab fees, weekly readers, supplies, enrichment, annual yearbook, student admittance to home games and standardized academic achievement tests. It does not cover individual sports equipment, private lessons, field trip costs, tournaments and competition fees. Because tuition only provides about 50% of our budget, some fundraising is inevitable. However, we want our students to devote themselves to learning. 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 whole tuition. We want to keep a student mix with all income classes representative of the community. But 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. A confidential financial needs analysis is done by a third party. No one should fail to apply for admission because of cost without completing a financial aid application. 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. 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 can not 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. rev. 1/10 |
