Tuition
[Our] experience has been nothing short of amazing! The administration, office and teaching staff are amazing, loving, and are true ambassadors of Christ's love. They are passionate educators who are always striving to ensure that their students are reaching their full potential academically and spiritually. They practice what they preach. Their encouragement to their students to be everyday disciples is very uplifting.
--The Henein Family--In Ontario, the education of children in a parentally-involved, independent Christian school requires financial support from parents/guardians.
Tuition fees cover most of the cost of educating our students. A small portion of the annual budget is raised through rental income and donations from parents and the larger Christian community.
