Tuition is based on the number of students attending from within a family. To determine the total tuition for your family, refer to the chart below. Please note that the order of students (1st, 2nd, etc.) is determined by age, with the oldest students first. For example, if a non-HPBC family has 4 students in grades 12, 7, 3, and K, total tuition would be $21,050 ($8,300 + $7,750 + $5,000 + No Charge).

The enrollment fee for new SCS families is $250 for the first student and $100 for each additional student. For returning SCS students, the re-enrollment fee is $250 per family. For new students of current SCS families, the enrollment fee is $100 per new student enrolled. Enrollment fees are due at the time of acceptance or re-enrollment for the next school year.
Fees are collected for special testing and all voluntary student activities that are not covered by tuition and other charges. Voluntary activities include, but are not limited to, items like lunch and milk programs, after-school care, clubs, and special events. Students wishing to participate in any special, out-of-state trips that are administered by SCS must pay the designated fees and any cash deposits that are determined by the responsible principal or administrator.
Each sport for which a student wishes to participate requires a fee of $50 (grades K-5), $75 (grades 6-8), or $100 (grades 9-12). Additional fees of $75 and $200 are charged for golf and football, respectively. These fees cover a portion of the sports program cost and are collected at the beginning of the sport season.
Students wishing to participate in any special, out-of-state trips that are administered by SCS must pay the designated fees and any cash deposits that are determined by the responsible principal or administrator.
All enrollment fees, activities fees, trip deposits and athletic fees are non-refundable. Tuition will be prorated through the day of transfer or withdrawal. Any prepaid tuition is also refundable.
Each family has the choice to pay in full by July 20th, or to set up an automatic payment plan through the FACTS Management Company. When you register your payment plan with FACTS you may select either a two-pay plan or a monthly plan. Monthly plans must be fully paid by April 2011. Click here to find answers to frequently asked questions about the FACTS service.
Tuition and Fees payments are due on their scheduled payment dates. Tuition payments not received on their scheduled due dates are subject to a $25 returned payment fee by FACTS. Any payments more than 30 days past due will result in students being dismissed from class. Records and transcripts will only be forwarded to another school or college for students whose accounts are fully paid.
Some families may also qualify for one of the following tuition reductions.
• Full-time Christian Worker
• Career missionary families
• Full-time employee of SCS or HPBC
Tuition Assistance may be available for certain applicants based on financial need. Please see our Financial Aid page or call the school Business Office for more information.
