Summit Christian School has
FROZEN TUITION at 07-08 rates!
This tuition discount applies to all SCS families! Look for further early enrollment discounts, too!

The FriendsSharing.com program provides students with a personalized web-based tool to generate support for the ministry of Summit Christian School. Students create their individual webpage in the classroom, alongside their teachers, and then email friends & families, encouraging them to visit their webpage and to financially support them. SCS will then issue your family a Tuition credit for any amount donated over $350 to your student’s webpage.

T.R.I.P. (Tuition Reduction Incentive Program) is a discount certificate program that enables us to purchase certificates from a broker at a discount. These certificates are then offered to families at face value, with a percentage of the savings applied directly to their school tuition account(s).

Summit Christian School is committed to caring for our families in their times of need. Psalm 68:4-5 tells us to "Sing to God, sing praise to his name, extol him who rides on the clouds - his name is the Lord - and rejoice before him. A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling." To honor that command we are introducing a Widow/Widower Benevolent Scholarship that provides a widowed parent with a 50% tuition discount for each child enrolled as of the beginning of the school year.

These scholarships are designed to reward students currently enrolled in grades 2-11 for their high level of achievement by financially awarding their families. Credit will be applied monthly August through May of the following school year, unless tuition is paid in full in June. The entire scholarship amount will then be applied at the time of payment. Award Levels:

Summit has a variety of paid coaching opportunities available throughout the year. We have sports programs in the elementary and middle/high school. Some programs require Saturday morning only, while others are a 5 day a week commitment. Contact Athletic Director J.R. Gamble at 561-686-8081 ext. 314 to inquire about openings.
