FAMILY STEWARDSHIP

Please read the >2024-2025 NCS STEWARDSHIP LETTER from our administration outlining information and requirements regarding family stewardship.

Providing an education is an expensive endeavor, and the costs of operating Northwest Christian Schools are not fully covered by tuition. Our school board, however, is committed to keeping tuition costs as low as possible. Therefore, we rely on your generosity—both time and financial support for specific projects and fundraisers—to help keep tuition down. Parent involvement over several years can save the school thousands of dollars.

To enable parents to be involved, we have developed the Family Stewardship Program for organizing help, keeping tuition costs down, and building relationships with families. Each family will be expected to fulfill 20 hours of stewardship commitment for each school year. Additional hours of service are, of course, accepted with enthusiasm and greatly appreciated. Details of the program can be found in our parent-student handbooks.
