TUITION

Affordable. Accessible. Absolutely Worth It.

OUR COMMITMENT TO HIGH QUALITY, AFFORDABLE CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

Dunwoody Christian School is committed to offering affordable tuition rates, while maintaining our high  curriculum standards and hands-on educational experience you expect from a private school. Like many other private schools, DCS tuition is intentionally set below the full cost needed to operate the school. This helps keep DCS more affordable to a wider range of families. The DCS Annual Fund then allows our school community (parents, friends, extended family, local businesses, and other DCS partners) to make up the deficit through tax-deductible donations. 

Do you have questions or need assistance with the enrollment process?  

Just reach out to admissions@dunwoodycs.org or call us at (678) 327-8181.

SHARING 10%

Each fiscal year, DCS sets aside 10% of every non-designated donated  dollar to be used for financial aid. DCS utilizes “FACTS Grant and Aid  Management” to provide a financial aid assessment. When your confidential  FACTS application is completed, FACTS assesses the financial needs of  the applicant, and provides a recommendation to DCS on the level of  financial assistance. DCS will weigh very heavily the FACTS scoring and  recommendations of each application, but reserves the right to allocate  funds based on factors outside of the FACTS process.

For further information about tuition, sibling discounts, and financial assistance details, please review our Tuition Policy HERE before completing the steps below:

APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL AID

1) Submit the FACTS application for DCS financial aid prior to Feb. 1. Note: FACTS charges a small non-refundable fee which is payable directly to FACTS in their application process.

2) Submit the DCS application for admission prior to February 1. Note: There is a non-refundable application fee per student.

AFTER APPLICATIONS ARE RECEIVED

After February 1, DCS will prayerfully review the requests for financial aid and consider the recommendations from the FACTS grant and aid. DCS will communicate financial aid decisions to new families at the same time as admissions decisions, typically no later than March 3.
