Tuition
Equipping students for life and leadership. Tuition supports programs that nurture both faith and intellect.
Investing in Faith and Learning
SCS gladly accepts the Opportunity Scholarship and the Education Student Accounts (ESA+) Program, which can significantly reduce the cost of tuition. In addition, our Warrior community contributes to the Grace Scholarship Fund, which provides short-term tuition assistance for families facing unexpected hardships.
