Making High-Quality Christian Education Accessible
At East Valley Christian School, we believe that financial circumstances should not prevent a child from receiving a quality Christian education. We are committed to working with families to explore all available options for making an EVCS education accessible and affordable.
Our tuition is already significantly lower than many private schools in the Bay Area see our Tuition & Fees page for more information. Beyond this competitive base rate, we offer additional financial assistance through various programs and scholarship opportunities.
Our Financial Assistance Philosophy
We never want finances to be the sole reason a family cannot attend East Valley Christian School. During the admissions process, our team will work closely with you to:
Explore all available funding options
Identify programs for which your family may qualify
Assist with application processes for external funding
Develop a financial plan that works for your family's situation
As Principal Perez often tells families: "We never let anybody leave if it's a financial issue." We are committed to finding solutions that make our school accessible to families who share our values and educational goals.
