Tuition & Financial Aid

At Flagstaff Christian School, we value long-term partnerships with families. Through our Continuous Enrollment program, your student’s enrollment automatically carries forward each year, eliminating the need to reapply annually.

How Continuous Enrollment Works

• Enrollment automatically continues each school year.
• Current students pay a $150 Enrollment fee on Feb 1, scheduled every 2 weeks for additional siblings.
• Tuition payment plans renew annually unless changes are requested.
• Families who choose to withdraw must fill out the Withdrawal Form and turn it in to admissions@flagchristian.org

Withdrawal Deadlines & Tuition Responsibility

• Through January 31: No charge
• February 1 – March 31: 5% of the upcoming annual tuition
• April 1 – June 1: 7% of the upcoming annual tuition
• June 2 – Aug 1: 10% of the upcoming annual tuition
• Aug 2 or later: 10% of the upcoming annual tuition plus prorated tuition for the time enrolled

Please Note

• Enrollment fees are non-refundable unless a family moves away from Northern Arizona.
• Tuition contracts remain in effect regardless of the reason for withdrawal.

Tuition covers the core educational experience at Flagstaff Christian School. However, some optional programs, activities, and services may involve additional fees.

• Athletics and Extracurricular activities
• Fine arts programs and activities
• Field trips
• OT/Speech
• Volunteer Hours

Additional fees vary by program and participation level. Information regarding applicable costs will be provided prior to registration or participation.

FCS now offers financial aid beyond STOs and ESA funds to help make Christian education accessible to families who need financial assistance to make enrollment possible. Tuition assistance is awarded based on financial need through a confidential review process conducted by FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment. Assistance will only be considered for families enrolled in STOs or ESA. Please check here (https://arizonaleader.org/students-families/) to see if your family qualifies for Corporate Low Income STOs BEFORE committing to ESA.

Please note that Financial Aid may not cover all tuition and fees, and families should be prepared for potential out-of-pocket expenses.

To Apply

• Complete the online FACTS Grant & Aid application
• Pay the non-refundable $45 application fee per family
• Submit all required financial documentation

Important Timelines

• Current families: First round of the application opens January 1-April 15 (awards announced in May); Second round is April 15- June 1 (awards announced in June or July)
• New families: Apply within 15 days of acceptance

Because tuition assistance funds are limited and awarded throughout the enrollment season, we encourage eligible families to apply as early as possible.

Please Note

• Families must use the current year’s federal tax return

Families are eligible for private school-related tuition assistance programs that will help offset the cost of tuition and educational expenses.

• Student Tuition Organizations (STO), an AZ tax credit program.
  • Recommended funds – All qualify. You recruit these donations. Download the STO list here.
  • Corporate/low income – Must qualify. Income dependent. See this chart for reference. Amounts previously awarded may decrease due to an increase in STO applicants.
  • Disabled/Displaced – Must qualify. Based on disability diagnoses and placement in the foster care system
• Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA), through the AZ Department of Education (ADE). Due to recent political changes, the Universal ESA program will likely not exist for the 27–28 school year and forward.
  • Disability/ Military/ Foster Care ESA – apply with ADE if your student qualifies.

Because tax laws and eligibility requirements can change, we recommend consulting a qualified tax professional regarding your family’s specific circumstances.
