Tuition and Financial Aid

Christian Education May Be More Affordable Than You Think

At Harrisburg Christian School, we believe families should not have to choose between a strong education and a Christ-centered environment. Through tuition assistance and Pennsylvania tax credit scholarships, many families receive significant financial aid each year.

Across the Christian School Association of Greater Harrisburg (CSAGH), which includes Harrisburg Christian School and West Shore Christian Academy, millions of dollars in financial aid are awarded annually.

Many families who now attend HCS initially assumed Christian education would not be affordable. We encourage every interested family to explore their options.

The HCS Value is Unmatched

At HCS, students will receive an education that equips them for life. This includes:
 
  • Tuition within the lower third of comparable schools, paired with generous financial aid, makes us surprisingly affordable.
  • Rigorous courses of study that prepare students to be critical thinkers, bold leaders, and skilled communicators.
  • Extracurricular opportunities in the Arts, Athletics, and Christian Service.
  • Preparation for college success and careers, including up to 24 Dual Enrollment Courses at no additional cost.
  • Highly qualified faculty and staff who invest in students' lives and provide role models for the Christian life, as well as individualized attention to help students succeed academically.
  • No fees to participate in our outstanding extracurricular programs, musicals, and sports!

How Financial Aid Works

Harrisburg Christian School provides financial aid through a combination of:

  • Pennsylvania EITC, OSTC, and EDS scholarships
  • Donor-supported scholarships
  • School-funded tuition assistance

Our goal is to make a Christ-centered education accessible for families God calls to HCS. Whenever possible, we strive to meet 100% of a family’s demonstrated financial need.

Financial aid eligibility is determined through FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment, a secure third-party system that evaluates each family's financial situation.
