What is Variable Tuition?
An excellent Christian education has always required a significant financial investment, and private education can be an expense that makes education difficult for some families to access.
At Southeast Christian School, we are committed to granting access to as many families as possible.
In fact, no student at SCS pays 100% of the cost of education.
How do we do this? 3 ways.
First, through the financial support of our generous donor base including the generous usage of facilities through Southeast Christian Church* and fundraisers such as our annual gala.
Second, through our reserved assets. This is also known as our Endowment Fund.
Finally, the Colorado Child Care Contribution Credit which is the best tax break for annual donations. You can learn more about that, here!
So, you don’t have to worry! SCS families pay no more than about 85% of asking tuition ratesa.
As a result of this continued commitment, we want to partner with your financially through Variable Tuition.
Variable tuition is just that- variable. We match your tuition rates to your family’s unique financial position. So the tuition at SCS is not a “one-size fits all.” It’s a range. A range that spans from about 40-88% of the full cost of this high-quality, Christian education.
Families interested in variable tuition simply submit a financial profile to a confidential third-party service online. They send a recommendation to our administration. Your variable tuition is confirmed. It’s as easy as that.
Think you can’t afford a quality Christian education? Think again. With variable tuition at SCS, an excellent Christian education has never been more accessible.
Ministry Leaders will continue to receive an automatic adjusted variable tuition package based on the submission of required documentation.

*Our estimate for the use of the Southeast Christian Church facilities is $540,000 annually for 50,000 square feet. SCS clearly recognizes that should our school ever seek to build or relocate that market value for 50,000 square feet would be significantly higher.
