Tuition & Financial Aid
It is my desire as the Director of Finance to make it as simple as possible for our parent community to pay for their children’s education at Christian Heritage School. Please review the material in this section of our website, and should you have any questions please feel free to call or email the Finance Office.
Tuition and Fees
2018-2019 School Year
Lower School Grades 1-5 - $13,100
Middle School Grades 6-8 - $17,500
High School Grades 9-12 - $19,000
International Students
At the time a student is enrolled, a non-refundable enrollment payment of $900 is due consisting of:
- Registration fee of $350 per child.
- Tuition deposit of $550 per child (applied to your first tuition payment).
Lunches at CHS are included in tuition. Parents are asked to cover any additional costs for books, iPads, supplies, uniforms, school photos, athletic practice gear, clubs, and Student Government social activities.
CHS uses a Continuous Enrollment Agreement. The term of the agreement shall be in effect for the academic year in which the student is enrolled and shall renew automatically of each successive academic year unless the CHS Finance Office receives a written notice of withdrawal for the following school year by February 28.
The overhead expenses of the school do not diminish with the departure of some students during the course of a year. Upon acceptance of a Continuous Enrollment Agreement by CHS, parents become obligated to pay the tuition for the full academic year. No portion of tuition paid or outstanding will be refunded or canceled in the event of absence, withdrawal or dismissal of a student. By signing the enrollment agreement, parents oblige themselves to pay, to the extent permitted by law, the school’s costs for enforcing the collection of tuition and fees including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses. Please refer to your enrollment agreement for more detailed information.
Payment Options
Annual Plan
Full tuition is due by July 15 for the following school year.
If you cannot pay your tuition in full in July, CHS offers a semi-annual, quarterly, or 10-month payment option through our partnership with SMART Tuition. SMART Tuition is not a loan so there are no credit checks or interest charges. All deferred payment plans must be administered through SMART Tuition.
Semi-annual Plan
Two equal tuition payments are due in July and December.
Quarterly Plan
Four equal tuition payments are due in July, October, January, and April.
Ten Month Plan
*The payment due date for each plan is the 15th of the month.
*SMART Tuition offers automatic deductions from a bank account, online payments, and 24-hour payment by phone. SMART will also accept checks and money orders via the mail. Credit cards are accepted through SMART Tuition but fees apply.
Late Fees: Tuition will be considered late if not received by SMART within 5 days of the due date and a late fee of $50 will be assessed.
Insufficient Funds: Should a check or automatic payment be rejected due to insufficient funds or other reason, additional service charges will apply. CHS reserves the right to require payment by cash or bank check, only if an account has more than one rejected payment.
Tuition Assistance
The Administrators and Board are committed to making a CHS education affordable for as many qualified students as possible. Every year about 44% of students at CHS receive some amount of tuition assistance. As a general rule, grants can vary from $1000 to a maximum of 40% of tuition for families whose financial situation indicates the most need.
Alumni of CHS are eligible for a discount of $1,000 per child, and full-time clergy and missionaries are eligible for a discount of $2,500 per child.
