Thank you for your interest in Trinity Christian School. On behalf of the Finance Committee, we would like to pass along some information regarding the finances of our school to provide a clear understanding of our tuition model and the financial commitment involved in joining our school community.

There are several fundamental issues running consistently through our constitution, admissions and financial policies. One is the family/community aspect.

A Family-Based Approach to Tuition

By joining our community, your family is saying you believe in the benefits of an education that involves your whole family and fits your family’s values.  Because of this, we choose to maintain a family-based tuition rate. This means that whether you have 1 child or many children, you will only pay the one tuition rate for your family based on the grade of your eldest child. The focus is not on paying education costs per child but rather on joining a community and financially supporting that community’s effort to create and maintain a Christian learning environment.

This approach reflects our commitment to supporting families while fostering a strong and connected school community.

Tuition Rates

Tuition rates are based on the grade division of the oldest enrolled student and are subject to annual approval by the Society Membership at the May Spring Annual Meeting. CLICK HERE to see the Tuition Rates & Fees explained.

Charitable Tax Receipts

The eligible receiptable amount varies each year and is determined by factors such as tuition paid, student enrolment, and the school's calculated cost per pupil.
