Think you can't afford Christian education? Think again.
Westminster Catawba Christian School offers Variable Tuition. Tuition at WCCS is not a “One-size-fits all.” It’s a range. A range that spans from 50-88% of the full cost of education. Variable Tuition adjusts tuition rates to meet your family’s unique financial position. No family at WCCS pays the full cost of education.
What is Variable Tuition?
Variable Tuition is a need-based tuition assistance program similar to those used by many private schools, colleges, and universities. This program allows a family to apply for reduced tuition that is right for their financial situation. This makes a Westminster Catawba Christian School education accessible to many qualified students who could not otherwise join our school community.
How Does Variable Tuition Work?
Any family (current or new) of a kindergarten through twelfth grade student may apply for Variable Tuition if they are concerned about affording the full tuition rate at Westminster Catawba Christian School and they think they may qualify for the program. Many factors are considered when determining the tuition amount a family is able to pay, including income, assets, unusual expenses, and the size of the family. The resources available for the family in a given year must also be considered in light of the Variable Tuition awards available at WCCS.
