Mount Calvary Christian School

Molding Children for Christ's Service

 

Welcome!


The mission of Mount Calvary Christian School is to assist parents with their God given responsibility to educate their child.  The official board of Mount Calvary Church and our school trustees have made the commitment to maintain tuition rates at levels that are as low as possible while still providing a high quality Christian education.  As you consider all aspects of making the decision of Christian schooling for your child, we know that careful consideration will be given to affordability.

 

Perhaps you are unsure of your ability to pay tuition.  If that is the case, we encourage you to consider the following excerpt from DiscoverChristianSchools.com:

 

Do we have a moral obligation to give our children a Christian education?  If so, then God will do for us what He does anytime He gives us a command.  He’ll give us the means to obey it.  

 

          "Statements like 'God will make a way' or 'If He’s called you, He’ll equip you' may sound a little trite.  But they happen to be true.  If you have a biblical mandate to provide your children with a Christian education – and

all of us have to make that determination for ourselves – God won’t let a little thing like insufficient funds stop you from obeying Him.  Not if you’re committed to hearing and obeying His will in the matter.

 

          He may give you a raise.  He may show you how to cut a few corners.  But one way or another, He will make a way – because if educating your children in a Christian setting is a genuine responsibility, the financial cost becomes a genuine need.  And God has promised to supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).

 

          There are other ways God may provide the necessary funding.  In some cases, churches have been known to assist their members.  Talk to your pastor and see if that’s a possibility.  And, of course, many schools offer financial aid to needy families or scholarships to academically-gifted students.  Contact the admissions department at your local Christian school. 

 

          At the end of the day, God may ask you to take a step of faith.  Then another.  Then another.  Pretty soon, you’ll be walking in a promise that’s been repeated so often it’s become the quintessential Christian cliché.  When God calls us to a task, He equips us to fulfill it.  The Red Sea was no match for Him.  The red in your checkbook won’t be, either." 

 

Don’t Assume You Won’t Qualify for Financial Assistance

 

Many parents don’t realize that they may qualify for financial assistance through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program. Currently all of our scholarship funds are provided through the EITC program. Here is a quick way to determine your eligibility for scholarship awards: Parents can make up to $50,000 then $10,000 additional is added for each dependent.

MCCS uses various organizations to provide financial assistance to eligible families.  Although there are other organizations we may later guide you to based on your particular needs, the scholarship organization that provides the majority of MCCS scholarships is the Penngift Foundation. We recommend that you apply through that organization first.  Please read the instructions below for information pertaining to this scholarship opportunity.  To access the financial aid application form, please click the link below.
