Partnering with Families

We are passionate about partnering with Christian families to provide for their children a classical, Christian education and believe that a Foothills Christian School education should be accessible for every family desiring this kind of education. To ensure we are delivering a quality education while also remaining affordable, tuition is priced annually to cover each year's operating expenses. Additionally, Foothills Christian School is committed to offering need-based tuition assistance to families through our tuition assistance third-party processor, FACTS, to determine eligibility for assistance for both current and prospective families.

Through the FCS Financial Aid program and ESTF funds, parents on average pay less than $1,800 out of pocket per student.

Tuition Assistance

ESTF Program

South Carolina has an Educational Scholarship Trust Fund. This program gives families the opportunity to use state money to pay for their child's private school tuition. FCS encourages its families to apply for this program as a benefit to parents to ease the personal financial cost of private school education. Currently about 75% of FCS students use ESTF funds to pay for their tuition.
