VARIABLE TUITION

Many families are surprised to find out that a Judah Christian School education really is affordable for them after all.

LET'S TALK TUITION... AND HOW YOU CAN AFFORD IT.

A Christian education is affordable for most families, but many families are surprised to find out how affordable it really is for them. Many families start with, "How can we make this work?" or "Wow, this seems impossible.", but with the help of God's provision and the amazing team in our business office, you can afford to have your student at Judah.

 

We've had numerous families leave the office pleasantly surprised once they learn more about payment plans, available discounts, and how tuition is structured. Don't walk away from exploring what your child's future could be like. Stop by and have a discussion so we can guide you through your options.

WE WANT YOU TO BE HERE

SEE GOD WORKING AT JUDAH CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

At Judah, we've awarded a little over $219,000 per year (on average) in Variable Tuition awards since 2006. Over time we've awarded over $4.3M in awards and partial scholarships to families.

 

We want you to be here. Through the compassion of donors and our school we want to make it possible for you.

VARIABLE TUITION

What is Variable Tuition? Variable Tuition is an award of a partial scholarship for your student based on your finances. 

​

Judah works with a private third party that helps to match your tuition with your family's unique financial position. You confidentially submit your information to our partner through an online application, and they make a private, unbiased recommendation to Judah on your variable tuition award, ranging from 10% off to a max of 50% off of the annual posted tuition for that academic year...making it possible for many families to attend.
