Tuition and Financial Aid

At Northside Christian School, we believe in making education both excellent and accessible. That’s why every student—from Kindergarten to 12th grade—receives a school-issued iPad, and tuition covers so much more than just classroom learning. Your investment includes athletic fees, elementary activity fees, school supplies (PS-5), textbooks, transportation, field trips, agendas, and instrument rentals for 4th and 5th graders. Additional costs are kept to a minimum, limited to our café, aftercare, uniforms, fine arts and athletic packages, and other optional activities.

We also offer flexible payment plans to suit your needs. For those who prefer one simple payment, tuition is due in full by May 1. Our monthly payment plan runs from June through May with the convenience of automatic payments on either the 1st or 15th of each month. Enjoy the ease of payments drafted from your checking or savings account at no extra cost, or opt for credit card payments with a 3% processing fee.

Join us at Northside Christian School, where quality education meets value and convenience.
