Guelph Community Christian School does not receive funding from the government for the operation of the school and therefore we rely upon tuition and donations to meet the operating costs of the school. Tuition fees are set every year by the Board on the advice of the finance committee and are voted on, with the budget, by the membership at the spring membership meeting.
Our rates are comparable to other schools in the Edvance Christian Schools Association and are very family friendly when compared to other independent schools.
Tuition rates per family vary depending on the number of children enrolled and their grade levels. The net cost is also affected by two tax deductions. Based on a formula set by the federal government, a portion of family tuition fees counts as a charitable donation, and a tax receipt will be issued in the spring to reduce your income tax payable. In addition, a daycare receipt is issued for a portion which reflects non academic time, such as recess, lunch, before and after school hours.
Please contact Justin DeMoor, Principal, at 519-824-8860 or principal@guelphccs.ca if you would like more details about the tuition structure.

A Tuition Bursary is a gift of money from Guelph Community Christian School that is awarded to a family. Family information will be kept confidential.
Tuition bursaries are available to families who have students at GCCS or are considering sending their child(ren) to the school. All applications from families will be considered by the Bursary Committee until funds are exhausted.
Application for Bursaries and Incentive grants are processed through the FAST (Financial Aid Software) program. Applicants will be required to complete an application online through a secure portal. The information will be verified by an external audit service. This process enables the Bursary Committee to make accurate and informed decisions in awarding bursaries and incentives to qualifying families and staff.
Using FAST for applications qualifies parents of GCCS to also apply for Christian School Foundation Bursaries, in addition to the GCCS Bursaries. This helps make GCCS accessible to more families.
Reach out to us to book a tour of our school today! We look forward to meeting you!
