Molding Children for Christ's Service
Financial Aid Information & Application Procedures
Stand Firm on the Promises of God
Mount Calvary Christian School’s mission is to assist
parents with their responsibility to educate their child. The school
trustees have made the commitment to keep tuition as affordable as
possible without sacrificing the quality of education the school
provides. We know that families carefully consider their financial
situation prior to enrolling. Even if you are unsure of your ability to
pay tuition, we encourage you to consider the vital role Christian
education can play in your child’s life.
The school trustees also believe that
God will provide for families who believe they have been given a
biblical mandate to provide their children with a Christian education.
Those who are committed to obeying God’s command will be equipped by Him
to follow it. The statement “God will make a way” is true and if
educating your children in a Christian setting is a genuine
responsibility, the means to pay for it becomes a need that God can
fill. God may ask you to take a step of faith, but He has also promised
to supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ
Jesus (Philippians 4:19). Generations of past MCCS families can testify
to God’s faithful provision.
Don’t Assume You Won’t Qualify
Many parents don’t realize that they may qualify for
financial aid through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC)
program. The EITC program is the source of the majority of our financial
aid funds. Here is a quick guide to determine if you may be eligible for
financial aid:
