Tuition & Affordability

Tuition Rates

Legacy Christian School is committed to providing an excellent Christian education that nurtures faith and a growing personal relationship with Jesus Christ for students from families of all backgrounds. We recognize that tuition represents a significant investment, and we strive to steward those resources wisely while also raising additional funds to support our mission. This commitment allows us to meet the diverse and changing needs of our students and families while keeping a Legacy education as accessible as possible.

​

To do so, we structure our tuition rates in this way:

​

1. Variable Tuition
Variable Tuition is a reduced tuition rate based on each family’s unique financial situation. It is available for students in Kindergarten and above and requires a confidential annual application through FACTS, our tuition assistance assessment tool. Reduced tuition rates are determined by Legacy Christian School’s administration and reflected directly in each family’s tuition account. Variable Tuition is made possible through the generosity of our community and the funds raised through school fundraising efforts.

​

2. Required Tuition (Tuition supplemented by grants)
Required Tuition is the standard tuition rate for students attending Legacy Christian School. Families who do not qualify for Variable Tuition pay the Requested Tuition rate. This rate is supported by grants funded by our Foundation, New Life Thrift Store and fundraising efforts such as the Auction, Golf Outing, TRIP, PTO and Annual Fund drive to reduce the overall cost of tuition.

​

3. Requested Tuition (True Cost of Education)
Requested Tuition represents the actual cost to educate a student, before support from grants are applied. Families who do not need the additional support from grants are encouraged to pay the true cost of education.

Investing in Christian Education

At Legacy Christian School, we understand that every family’s financial situation is unique. That’s why we offer a variety of ways to help your family invest in Christian education.

​

Variable Tuition

We provide a range of tuition rates to accommodate different financial needs. While every family is expected to contribute, Variable Tuition allows families to apply for a reduced rate based on their specific financial circumstances.

​

Scholarships

Legacy Christian School offers scholarships that cover between 25% to 100% of tuition costs. Families are encouraged to apply for these scholarships to receive additional financial support.

​

Flexible Payment Plans

We use FACTS for our billing and payment system. Families can choose to have their payments due on the 5th or 20th of the month. The payment plan options are:

  • One-time payment due in August

  • Semi-annual payments due in August and January

  • Quarterly payments due in August, November, February, and May

  • 11 Monthly payments due in August - June 

Payments can be made through ACH or credit card (FACTS does charge an additional processing fee for all credit card payments). 

​

TRIP (Tuition Reduction Incentive Program)

By using our TRIP program, families can reduce tuition costs simply by making everyday purchases. Buy gift cards or use our RaiseRight app, and a portion of each purchase will go directly towards your child’s tuition.

​

​Church Assistance

Many local churches provide financial assistance for Christian education. Contact your church office to find out if they offer tuition support for your family.

​​

Bus Driver Incentive

Interested in driving a bus? We often have openings for bus drivers, which comes with a significant tuition discount. For more details, reach out to Kim at kimz@legacycs.org.

​​

​Please note that some of these options are only available for K-8th tuition. Feel free to contact us at office@legacycs.org for more information on any of these tuition support options!
