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.
The tuition chart below lists two types of tuition: Requested and Required. Grand Rapids Christian Schools asks families to pay the Requested amount, as this amount includes support for financial aid, educational support programs, endowment, capital needs, and technology. Parents who pay Requested tuition receive a receipt acknowledging a tax-deductible gift equal to the difference between Requested tuition and Required tuition for each student.

Eagles Kids Club
Eagle TRIP
Eagle TRIP enables families to reduce tuition by purchasing gift cards and gift certificates at no additional cost – for goods and services they purchase every day. Participants buy gift cards at face value in increments ranging from $5 to $100 or more. Eagle TRIP provides approximately $200,000 in tuition credits to families per year. Get more information on Eagle TRIP here.
Financial Aid
In addition to the tuition reduction made available to families through the Eagles Fund, Capital Projects Fund, GRCS Foundation and New2You grants, families who meet income eligibility requirements are able to receive additional financial aid and further reduce the cost of tuition. Annually, over 40% of families receive income-based financial aid either from a supporting church or directly from Grand Rapids Christian Schools. Get more information on Financial Aid here.
