Variable Tuition (Tuition Assistance)
We know a Valley Christian education is the first choice for many Christian parents. We also understand the cost of private education can be a barrier to applying. VCS Variable Tuition is individually assessed tuition based on each family's financial situation and the school's tuition assistance pool. Variable Tuition is a needs-based assessment. A wide range of families with a variety of circumstances will qualify for the program.
Several factors are weighed, including income, assets, expenses, and the number of dependents.
This tuition system is supported by members of the Valley Christian community and VCS families.
How is Variable Tuition determined? Each case is confidential and is evaluated by a third party, FACTS. Please note that this a new company, not "FAST". Our internal Tuition Team determines variable tuition offers.
The amount of the adjustment is based on several factors including family income, expenses, assets and number of dependents. Families in the same income range may have different overall financial circumstances and may receive a different adjustment amount.
The amount of adjustment granted during any given year will vary based on pre-approved amounts determined annually by the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors.
