Our Philosophy
At the heart of Mid Vermont Christian School’s mission is a commitment to provide qualified students with access to an excellent education that prepares them for college, vocational pursuits, military service, and Christian ministry, regardless of their ability to pay.
To fulfill this mission, MVCS partners with foundations, donors, and individuals to offer variable tuition assistance and significantly reduce the cost of tuition. Our need-based financial aid model provides a customized based tuition a family pays based on their income, assets, and household size, making private education accessible to a wide range of economic backgrounds.

In order to do so, parents must:

Tuition Payment Options
Each enrolled family at MVCS will be asked to sign a Parent Financial Agreement (PFA), which outlines the financial obligations of the family to the school. Parents will choose a payment plan and answer the other questions on the PFA, and then send the school a signed copy to maintain on file.
Tuition can be paid using one of three plans. Discounts are available only for full-time, in-person students.
Full Payment: Pay the total tuition by August 1st and receive a 4% discount. (Discount is forfeited if payment is late.)
Two Payments: Pay half by August 1st and the balance by January 1st for a 2% discount. (Discount is forfeited if payment is late.)
Monthly Payments: Ten monthly payments equal to 1/10 of total tuition plus an annual FACTS Management Company fee. Payments are automatically deducted on the 5th or 20th of each month from August through June. Missed payment fees apply for insufficient funds.
