Admissions

All families seeking a Christian education for their children are urged to apply for admission to Conestoga Christian School.  The School Board of Trustees requires that at least one parent profess faith in Jesus Christ as Savior. Interviews are conducted to explore the nature of that experience, the commitment of parent and child(ren) to Christian education and the ability of CCS to meet the educational needs of the student.

Applications for admission to Conestoga Christian School are accepted throughout the school year; however, the majority of students begin their CCS experience in the Fall.  Application packets are available from the Development Office (610.286.0353 Ext 402) or may be requested electronically by clicking here.

Parents and students are welcome to visit the school and students may also request a day to “shadow” a current CCS student. Please call the Development Office to make those arrangements.

A Family Application, previous school records and/or report cards and standardized test results are required of all applicants; high school students (grade 9-12) are also asked to complete a Student Application. Students entering grades 6-12 must submit Recommendation Forms completed by their pastor and another unrelated adult.

Once application forms are all complete, a Family Interview is scheduled and student assessment is conducted. When students are admitted, a Registration Fee of $150 per student is paid to hold the space in the class.  

CCS Admissions Procedures

Conestoga Christian School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, program and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.  It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan program, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

 

Tuition

Helpful tuition links

Tuition covers only a portion of the school’s total operating expenses.  CCS depends on gifts from parents, friends of the school, area churches, and special fundraising events to provide the additional funds needed each month for operational costs. Additional fees are charged for resource room instruction.  See the CCS Parent Handbook (available from the Development Office) for the details of those expenses.

Tuition is paid in 10 equal monthly installments from August through May.  A 1% tuition discount is given to families who pay the entire tuition amount on or before August 10th.  Tuition Assistance is available to qualified families.

Tuition Assistance

Tuition Assistance is available for families committed to Christian education but unable to meet the financial obligations established by the school.   Because each family’s financial situation in any given year is unique, CCS utilizes an independent 3rd party, FFNA, to evaluate needs.  The CCS Finance Committee grants Tuition Assistance based on FFNA’s recommendations and awards are made by June 30th each year.  Maximum aid awarded will not exceed 50% of tuition and resource room fees.  Families are urged to alert CCS of any changes in financial status that may occur throughout the year.

2008 Tuition Assistance Deadlines:  

April 1, 2008:  Regular Processing (via US mail) due at FFNA
April 18, 2008:  On-line Regular or Mail-In Fast Back Processing due at FFNA
May 5, 2008:  On-line Fast Back Processing


Any remaining aid will be granted as needed for Tuition Assistance applications received after the deadlines.

To be considered for Tuition Assistance follow these TWO STEPS:

STEP 1:
  Complete a PA Tax credit application (PDF) for each student and submit it directly to the CCS Business Office with one copy of last year’s tax return.  You will need Adobe Reader to read the PDF file.  If you do not have it, you can download it here.

No tuition assistance can be awarded without this short application and tax return on file with Conestoga Christian School.  

STEP 2:  Complete and submit a financial aid application to FFNA using school ID #1048

      Family Financial Needs Assessment (FFNA)  

Please note: The family is responsible for the cost associated with this application.  


Should you have questions or require assistance with this process, you can request assistance by submitting the form available here.  Someone will contact you promptly.
