At Jim Elliot we strive to keep our tuition low so that cost is not a hindrance to anyone desiring to receive the Christian education that we offer. Tuition for full-time, high school students is $8,085 per year. (A limited number of scholarships are available.) However, the actual cost to educate each student is $8,500, which means $415 per student must come from other sources. We raise these extra funds in several ways, and we invite you to join in any or all of these.
First, many of our families are able, through the blessing of the resources God has provided them, to cover the extra cost of their son’s or daughter’s tuition. This is a suggested donation that can be given all at once or can be set up as a monthly donation.
Second, we have three major fundraisers each year which require full participation from our families and supporters. The success of these fundraisers is critical for our ability to keep tuition low. In November we have our Silent Auction, in March our Theatre Night, and in April our Serve-a-thon.
Third, we provide an avenue for family, friends, and JECS supporters who have the means to donate to our Tuition Reduction Fund. This fund is specially designed to help cover the extra $400 per year needed for each student and is a good way for relatives and friends to bless the Jim Elliot community.
