Welcome
The best way to know if Northumberland Christian School is a good fit for your child(ren) is to stop in for a visit. Many families are ready to enroll once they see our programs and students in action! We would love to meet you and take you on a tour of our Danforth Rd. campus.

Tuition
Tuition costs are usually the first thing families want to know when they inquire about NCS. Of course we would love to offer Christian education without cost, but our school operates solely through tuition and donations. As an independent school, we receive no government support. Unlike other private schools however, Christian schools like NCS are not geared to the wealthy. Many of our families make enormous sacrifices to make Christian education possible.
Our school was built by families who believed that Christian education was the most important foundation they could give their children and it is in that same spirit that families today take the counter-cultural leap to pay for something that the province offers for free! It comes down to making a commitment and finding creative ways to make it happen. For some, it takes a greater support network of church, community, and extended family to make Christian education a reality. When you join a Christian school community, you join a legacy of those who came before you and those who will walk beside you.
Most families find that tuition is comparable to the cost of daycare, so if you are already used to budgeting for that, then Christian education is not that big a step. For others, it is a step of faith to make the financial commitment to begin paying for elementary education, but graduating families will tell you that the investment in your child’s future far outweighs the cost. Every family takes it one step at a time!
We do have a formal tuition structure that is voted on and approved by our membership each year. The tuition grid varies according to number of children in the family enrolled, the grade level or number of days attending, and whether you are a new family to the school. NCS is highly supportive of families and we give generous discounts for siblings to make schooling a reality for the entire family unit.
It is often helpful to sit down with our Financial Administrator to go over the details of tuition to explore payment options that accommodate your needs. Christian schools are non-profit organizations and as such can give a charitable receipt for a portion of tuition paid. The exact amount is determined at the end of the fiscal year and varies depending on the number of children enrolled and the family’s tax bracket, but many families receive a credit of over $1 000.00 when they file their taxes.
