In the spring of every year, the operational budget of Beacon Christian Schools is prepared, submitted to it's members and approved by the Assoc. of Christian Education of St. Catharines.  Normally, approximately 70% of the budget is covered through tuition revenue.

Beacon's fee schedule is based upon family rates.  Each family is asked to pay the same tuition regardless of the number of children who are attending either school.  It is our belief that our community should have the desire to help establish and maintain Christian schools.  This belief and desire can be extended to the tuition fee structure and therefore by having a family rate, we share the cost of providing Christian education as a community.

Fees are based upon the entry point of your eldest child.  For eg., if your eldest is entering grade three and you have another child entering grade one your fees would be $10,165 for your family.  Similarly, if your eldest is entering grade nine and you have another child entering grade seven your fees would be $11,770 for your family.

Payments for tuition can be paid monthly, quarterly or annually and a portion of the fees become tax deductible which means the fees below are not even your net cost of education. 

You can also help yourself by participating in the Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (Beacon Rewards Program), a program through which you can earn a tuition credit simply by shopping with gift cards and vouchers at a wide variety of retailers and at most grocery stores.  Some families have earned up to $500 a year through this program by inviting family and friends to assist them in this program.

Transportation is provided throughout the Niagara Region through our own bussing system.  We strive to serve families wherever possible in a stewardly and timely fashion.
