Gross Tuition Rates    2010-2011 

Tuition is set on a PER FAMILY basis, with the same fee charged regardless of the number of children enrolled at CCS. There is a 10% reduction for families that also have children attending a Christian High School.

After Tax Tuition Cost 

Since CCS operates as a charity, much of the tuition amount is treated as a donation and receipts for tax purposes are issued. The actual cost of tuition per family is reduced substantially by deducting from tuition the tax credits received from this tax receipt (approx 46%)

The following is used to calculate the after tax tuition cost:

The receipt for tax purposes varies with the number of chidren attending CCS. The following shows the actual after tax cost for families that have one, two, or three children enrolled full time in Grades K - 8 at CCS

FORMULA:
  Tuition - Cost per Pupil* = Receipt for Tax Purposes *cost per pupil 2009 = $339.46
  Tuition - (Receipt x 0.46) = After Tax Tuition Cost (was $1238 in 2008)

Christian Economic Assistance Foundation (CEAF)

Community Christian School also encourages participation in the Christian Economic Assistance Foundation (CEAF). For this program, tuition is divided into two groups. Based on the number of children attending CCS, some of the cost goes to CCS and the rest to CEAF. Since the Foundation is a registered charity, the money sent to this is 100% deductible for tax purposes. The foundation pays back to CCS the amount given them in the form of a grant. This lowers our cost per student figure and therefore increases the amount of the tax receipt issued by CCS.
