ANNUAL GIVING AT SCS
The Impact Fund
ONE fund resourcing FIVE key pillars of success — and funding the margin of excellence that tuition alone was never meant to cover.
WHY GIVE
Did you know the cost of tuition does not cover the full cost of an SCS education?
In order to do our work with excellence while remaining affordable, we need God's people to provide resources for one critical fund supporting five key areas: the Impact Fund.
Providing an outstanding Christian education is an expensive endeavor. Rising costs related to hiring and retaining teachers and staff, increased campus security, curriculum promoting a Biblical worldview, and changes in technology are a few factors contributing to changing cost structures in the world of Christian education. Campus capital improvements and facility maintenance affect the cost as well.
As the cost of providing an excellent Christ-centered education continues to rise, we remain committed to helping keep our families' tuition rates as affordable as possible. Your gifts to the Impact Fund will be used to extend our impact and help us reach more children and more people in our community for Jesus. Gifts are made to the Lord for his glory, and we will steward them well.
THE MARGIN
OF EXCELLENCE
The difference between what tuition covers and the actual cost of providing an education at SCS is the margin of excellence — and it is funded entirely by generous gifts to the Impact Fund.
