What does “Christian school” mean?

Our school is an outreach of First Presbyterian Church, which is part of the Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA) denomination.

Can we register for the current school year if it’s already started?

It’s possible! Please email or call us to chat about whether the class you are interested in still has availability.

How do I register my child for this school year (2024-2025)?

Register your student for preschool here. Register your student for kindergarten through 4th grade here. Once you submit your application, our front office will reach out to you with the next enrollment steps!

Why does your school top out at 4th grade?

This year, our oldest students are fourth graders. As they move up to fifth grade in the next school year (2025-2026), we will add a fifth grade class to our roster. We would love to have your student join us in fifth grade next year!

Do you offer a tuition discount for multiple children from the same household?

Unfortunately we cannot offer tuition discounts for siblings, although we do offer half-price application fees for every child after the oldest. We try to keep our tuition costs as low as possible for all students, and we encourage families to apply for need-based tuition assistance if they need it.

Do you offer scholarships?

We do offer tuition assistance on a need-basis! Tuition assistance packages are awarded in mid-May for the upcoming school year. Check here for details.
