The financial status form will allow the school to provide adequate support to families that are in need of additional funding for their child(ren) to attend.  In addition, volunteering at the school will allow the school to keep from hiring unnecessary staff, allowing as many families as are in need possible access to this rate. 

Mandatory Volunteer Hours:

Families paying full rate must volunteer a total of 1 hour per month (annual family fee of $270).  Families receiving a scholarship/discounted rate are required to volunteer 30 minutes per week (annual family fee of $540 per year) and/or as was agreed upon at the time of enrollment.  Approved family members/friends are allowed to volunteer in lieu of parents. All volunteers must complete a background check before they start their volunteer hours.  This needs to be completed no later than one week before first volunteer hours are required.

Please read the requirements and directions for mandatory volunteer hours at the sign up link (provided here).  This will be added to your agreement.  All hours must be signed up for by no later than August 1 and can not be cancelled. If volunteer hours are cancelled, the annual volunteer fee will be immediately due. Some available volunteer slots include:

  • Kitchen Help
  • Library
  • Grounds
  • School Garden

Choose one day per week you can commit to each sign up (Monday-Thursday) each month.  Please make sure you are able to commit to and show up for this day of the week on a monthly or bi-weekly basis.  Volunteers must show up on time and be reliable or additional staff will need to be hired and families will not be able to receive the scholarship/discounted rate and will need to pay the annual volunteer fee. 

All volunteers must have a cleared background check to volunteer at FCS. Background checks must and can be run immediately through WSP (Washington State Patrol). Please complete the background check and email it over to FellowshipChristianSchools@gmail.com.

Enrollments Received after Payment Deadlines:

Enrollment packets received after the initial payment deadlines will require all past due fees to be paid before enrollment can be made (including tuition installments). 

Tuition installments:

Enrollments received after the start of school will receive adjusted tuition installments based on the number of missed scheduled school days.  All missed tuition fees and enrollment fees will be required to be received before enrollment can be made.  Please speak to the school office for specific payment amounts.

Referral Discount:

We have been blessed with family referrals that have allowed this ministry to grow!  We want to thank all of the families that have referred Fellowship Christian School to other friends and family.  For the 2021-2022 school year, we will continue to offer a Referral Discount, available/redeemable after the referred family has attended for four consecutive months (and made 5 consecutive payments)

The Referral Discount will give the family that referred an attending full-time new family a discount of -$150 from one month of owed tuition.  The Referral Discount will give the family that referred an attending part-time new family a discount of -$75 from one month of owed tuition.  This discount only applies to the family doing the referring.  It does not get applied to the new (referred) family’s account.  This discount applies to new, regular rate enrollments only

Withdrawal/Un-enrollment:

For student withdrawal/un-enrollment, families are required to give at least one month (30 days) written notice (handed into the school office) and pay for the fees associated with the un-enrollment of their child(ren) (no less than 1/10 of annual tuition or 1 monthly tuition installment).  Families will continue to be billed and incur fees until written notice is turned into the school office by the parent/guardian.  Please do not give these notices to any other teachers/staff.  Due to budget requirements, un-enrollment of a student during the month of April, May or June will result in no reduction/pro-ration to the annual tuition and fees due.  Full fees and tuition must still be paid. If your family paid in full for the year, the 3% discount that was applied to your account will be added back to your balance and owed, in addition to any card processing fees.

Tuition rates and fees are based on the financial needs of the school (including but not limited to testing, student workbooks, art supplies, electronic resources, office/teacher supplies, curriculum, staffing, etc.) and are subject to change.  We will make every effort to keep our rates as low as possible.

Please contact our office if you are in need of any other arrangements.

Referral Discount

We have been blessed with family referrals that have allowed this ministry to grow!  We want to thank all of the families that have referred Fellowship Christian School to other friends and family.  For the 2019-2020 school year, we will be offering a Referral Discount, available/redeemable after the referred family has attended for four consecutive months (and made 5 consecutive payments)

The Referral Discount will give the family that referred an attending full-time new family a discount of -$150 from one month of owed tuition.  The Referral Discount will give the family that referred an attending part-time new family a discount of -$75 from one month of owed tuition.  This discount only applies to the family doing the referring.  It does not get applied to the new (referred) family’s account.  This discount applies to new, regular rate enrollments only. 

Withdrawal/Un-enrollment

For student withdrawal/un-enrollment, families are required to give at least one month (30 days) written notice (handed into the school office) and pay for the fees associated with the un-enrollment of their child(ren) (no less than 1/10 of annual tuition or 1 monthly tuition installment).  Families will continue to be billed and incur fees until written notice is turned into the school office by the parent/guardian.  Please do not give these notices to any other teachers/staff.  Due to budget requirements, un-enrollment of a student during the month of May or June will result in no reduction/pro-ration to the annual tuition and fees due.  Full fees and tuition must still be paid.

Tuition rates and fees are based on the financial needs of the school (including but not limited to testing, student workbooks, art supplies, electronic resources, office/teacher supplies, curriculum, staffing, etc.) and are subject to change.  We will make every effort to keep our rates as low as possible.
