Think again!

Faith Christian School is committed to granting access to as many families as possible. In fact, no family at FCS pays the actual full cost of education. How do we do this? First, through the financial support of our generous donor base; second, through Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit program; third, though our endowment fund; and finally, through other supporting activities such as the FCS Gala/Silent Auction and annual Faith Walks/Serves. Thus, the true cost to educate each student has already been partially covered, and no FCS family will pay more than about 80% of this true cost in any given year. This commitment to providing an affordable education that is accessible to all Christian families is foundational to the mission of FCS.

As a result of this continued commitment, Faith Christian School proudly offers variable tuition. Tuition at Faith Christian is not “one-size-fits-all.” Instead, it’s a range that varies from 50% to 100% of the full tuition rate. The variable tuition program adjusts tuition rates based on your family’s unique financial position.

General FAQs

Variable tuition is a need-based tuition assistance program similar to those used by many private schools, colleges, and universities. This program allows families to apply for reduced tuition that is appropriate for their unique financial situation. Thus, a Faith Christian education becomes affordable to many qualified students who could not otherwise join our school community.

Any family (current or new) of a kindergarten through twelfth-grade student may apply for variable tuition if they are concerned about being able to afford the full tuition rate. An application for variable tuition does not affect the re-enrollment or admission process.

It is not possible for a family or the school to estimate the tuition level for which a family qualifies without the completion of a variable tuition application. Applications are submitted directly to FACTS Financial Management, a third-party agency. FACTS evaluates the application using many factors (such as income, assets, number of dependents, unusual expenses, etc.) and makes a recommendation to the school’s finance committee. Families are notified of the tuition level for which they qualify from the school’s financial office.

Unfortunately, the school is not able to approve a reduced variable tuition rate to every deserving student. We work within the available resources to make the school accessible to as many students and families as possible.

No, you may first apply online for the variable tuition program. There is a non-refundable fee incurred from FACTS, our third party processor. Your variable tuition results are contingent on your acceptance to FCS and are given in advance purely to assist parents in the decision making process.

Typically, you will be notified within 2 weeks of providing all the required information to our confidential third-party service, FACTS Financial Management.

Applications are submitted directly to FACTS Financial Management, a third-party agency. FACTS charges $40 for a variable tuition evaluation.
