An education worth investing in.

Grand Rapids Christian Schools is committed to providing an excellent Christian education in an environment that deepens faith and a personal relationship with Christ to students from all socioeconomic backgrounds.

We recognize that paying tuition is a considerable investment for most families, and therefore do all we can to not only use those resources wisely but also to raise additional funds to ensure our ability to fulfill our mission and meet the changing needs of our schools.

We believe a Grand Rapids Christian education
is an investment that never loses value.

about Variable Tuition

What are the Requested Donation Amounts?

At Grand Rapids Christian Schools, no family pays the full cost of education. Instead, we ask parents to consider making tax-deductible donations for tuition support, endowment, educational support services, upgrades to technology, and New 2 You. Parents may elect to make this tax- deductible donation in addition to paying Full Tuition through their Smart Tuition account each year.

Requested Donation Amounts 2021 — 2022 School Year
FUND/GRANT	AMOUNT Per student
Eagles Fund	$1,250
Capital	$680
Foundation	$440
New 2 You*	$375
TOTAL REQUESTED DONATION*	$2,745

*New 2 You is our upscale resale store that has raised millions of dollars to reduce tuition costs for students attending Grand Rapids Christian Schools.

Both Full and Variable Tuition rates for students in grades K-12 have already been reduced by this year's per student New 2 You Grant. In return, parents of students in grades K-12 are asked to volunteer at New 2 You for at least one three-hour shift per school year, per family.

Parents who elect to give the Requested Donation or make an Other Donation of $375/student designated for New 2 You on their Continuous Enrollment Contract may opt out of volunteering at New 2 You.

What are the SMART Tuition Payment Options?

Parents may choose to pay their tuition in one lump-sum payment or two equal payments (by semester) directly to GRCS or to Smart.

Families who pay their tuition in full will receive an invoice from Smart Tuition due by July 31. Families who pay their tuition by semester in two equal payments will receive two invoices from Smart Tuition due July 31 and December 31.

Families may also choose to make 10 monthly payments paid to Smart Tuition. Families that elect monthly tuition payments will pay Smart Tuition directly through electronic withdrawal and pay NO extra fees if all tuition payments are current as of May 31. Withdrawal will occur in 10 monthly installments from August through May on the 5th, 15th, 20th, or 30th of each month.

After completing the enrollment agreement, parents will receive an email from Smart Tuition with instructions for setting up their Smart Tuition online account.
