How much will tuition cost?Tuition costs for the 2024/2025 School year is $4250, or $425/month for 10 months. There are also costs for your child's enrollment which is $250. If you are a new student, there is a new student enrollment fee of $50, which will be deducted from the enrollment fee, if your child is accepted into the 2024/2025 school year. We strive to keep our tuition affordable while meeting the needs of our school. Our tuition covers about 60% of our operating costs and we rely on donations and fundraising to cover the remaining 40%. God has been faithful to provide for us, and we want to make sure we are honoring him in our use of his money. OCS is a non profit school desiring to teach students about Christ, therefore, we are not able to receive government or state funding to maintain such freedoms. Like all schools, we have operating costs such as, faculty salaries, building operation costs, curriculum costs, and school supply costs. Without state funding, we must raise all the money ourselves, and work very hard to raise the funds every year through car washes, bake sales, door-to-door fundraising, and our annual Silent Auction. We are working diligently through fundraising and with with local business, to raise money for the school. The more money we raise, the lower the tuition will be.

Will scholarships or Financial Aid be available?Our goal is to have at least one scholarship per grade level available to students. However, we only have financial aid available to help cover a portion of your child's costs. As of right now, we are working with a platform that will help screen financial aid applications so all families are given a fair opportunity at financial aid and scholarships without facing any potential bias. There is a $40, non-refundable fee for this application that goes directly to this service. So, please be aware of this before applying. To apply for scholarships, you must already be enrolled at Omak Christian School. Once enrolled, you can reach out to us and we will provide you with a financial aid application link. The link will walk you through the entire process. Once the application is completed, an anonymous number is assigned to your application, and all applications will be presented to our Board of Regents who will award financial aid based on need and the recommendation from the application. We understand that enrolling in a private school is a big financial decision. Rest assured that your enrollment fee is 100% refundable. So if you apply and see you are not eligible for a scholarship, or the amount awarded would not be beneficial to your situation, you can rescind your application and your enrollment fee will be refunded. The only fees that are not refundable, are the $40 financial aid application fee, and the $50 new student application fee. In order to provide scholarship opportunities, we must raise enough funds to cover the costs. If you would like to donate, please email us at office@omakchristian.org. All proceeds go directly towards the school!
