Financial Policy                                                  

It is no secret that the most common problem facing private Christian schools is working with limited resources.  Because tax dollars do not support these schools, they must depend solely upon tuition and contributions to meet their obligations.  Madison Christian School is no different.  Your tuition dollars are vital to our school’s survival. 

Therefore, before you make this financial commitment with Madison Christian School, we would ask that you prayerfully consider it in light of the following Scriptures:

                        “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower.  Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it?”  Luke 14:28

                                “It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it.”  Ecclesiastes 5:5

                                “Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another.”  Romans 13:8a

Fee Schedule

Registration Fee:           $  50.00          

            This fee must be submitted annually with an application for admission/readmission.

             If the application is received before May 1^st, the fee is waived.

Book Fee:                    $  85.00           Kindergarten book fee, paid in June

                                    $160.00           Grades 1-8 book fee, paid in June

                                                            First two students in a family have full-rate book fee; additional students

                                                            from that family would be ½ appropriate book fees

                                                            In case of lost or damaged books, a charge for replacing the book will be assessed.

Tuition:                         $120.00           (per month-12 months, $1,440.00) Kindergarten, ½ day program

                                    $200.00           (per month-12 months, $ 2,400.00) grades 1-8

            Tuition is due on the 10^th of each month beginning July 10^th .

Late Tuition Fee:           $ 10.00            Fee charged if tuition is not paid by the first day of the next month

Multiple Child Discount:                        First 2 students in a family, starting with highest grade, are full tuition;

                                                            each student thereafter is $1000 per student

                                               **Families are eligible for a 5% discount if the tuition  is paid in full at the first day of school;

                                                    or in half at the first day of  school, and the remaining half on the first day of 3^rd quarter. 

Withdrawal:      If a student is withdrawn before the 15^th of the month, the tuition rate will be one-half.  If the

student is withdrawn on or after the 15^th; the full amount will be due.  In a situation where  

circumstances are out of the family’s control (i.e. job transfer, etc.), the Madison Christian

                                School Board will make the decision regarding tuition.

The School Board is committed to working with families to help meet their tuition obligations. Please contact

the MCS Treasurer if you foresee a problem keeping financial commitments, or to discuss exceptions regarding

delinquent accounts.  Scholarship applications are available by contacting the school office. Students will not be

allowed to return to MCS for a new school year until all past school tuition and fees have been paid in full.
