In response to the challenges Covid-19 has brought upon all of us, the Shekinah School Board has elected to freeze tuition rates and fees for the 2020-21 school year. In addition, kindergarten rates have been discounted by 50% for this year only. |
At Shekinah Christian School, no student pays 100% of the cost of education. With our generous donors, supporting churches, and endowment fund, every student’s cost of education has already been supplemented by more than 20%.
We are excited to provide an additional innovative new way for current and new SCS families to access education at SCS: Variable Tuition.

Payment Plans |
|||
Pre-Payment in full: A 5% discount may be deducted if full annual tuition is received before August 1, 2020. |
|||
Monthly Payment Plan: 12 months (Aug - July) Tuition is billed the first Wednesday of each month. Payments are due by the end of each month. Any outstanding balance at the end of each month will incur a 1.5% (18% annual) late fee. Accounts must be current at the end of each academic quarter in order for student/s to continue at Shekinah the following quarter. |
|||
Tuition for international students must be paid in full before the start of the school year. |
|||
Partial Year Enrollment |
|||
For students enrolling after the start of the school year, tuition will be prorated by the number of school days remaining in the school year. Pre-payment discount is not offered for partial year. |
|||
Early Withdrawal During the Year |
|||
Students withdrawing between July 1 and the last day of school will be required to pay tuition for the entire quarter in which they withdrawal. For example, if a student withdrawals July 10, prior to the first day of class, 25% of the annual tuition amount will be charged. If a student withdrawals during the 3rd quarter, their final bill will reflect a total of 75% of the annual tuition amount less any tuition payment(s) already received. |
