Calvary
Christian School Fund Raising Mission Statement
Calvary Christian School Fund Raising bridges the difference
between what tuition provides and what the school needs
to fulfill its mission, by working with our school community
in a positive way that values each family’s contribution.
Calvary Christian School Financial Traditions
Reasonable Tuition Levels
Maintain as reasonable a tuition structure we can without ever compromising our commitment to academic excellence.
Confidentiality and Anonymity of Giving
Do not acknowledge people based on the size of their gift.
No “Platinum, Gold or Silver” lists.
Giving Based on Means
Encourage our families to give as generously as possible, recognizing that some of us can give more and some of us cannot give as much.

Annual Fund Campaign
- The Annual Fund is used to cover basic operating costs that are not covered by tuition.
- By Design, Tuition does not cover the full cost of our program.
- The Annual Operating Costs of the School are approximately $5,700,000.
- 74% of the operating costs are salaries and benefits of the employees of the school.
- Donations in excess of the amount used to cover the gap between tuition income and operating costs will be used for teacher retirement benefits, teacher training, curriculum enhancements and technology upgrades, with the balance going into the school's endowment.
