Tuition Assistance
CPLS desires for the student body to reflect the larger Christian community. A well-funded financial assistance program results in a broad socio-economic representation that includes students whose families could not otherwise provide classical Christian education for their children.
Each year the CPLS Board designates around 9% of the total budget to be used for tuition assistance. Together with private donations, the school awards over $500,000 in tuition assistance each year.
FACTS Grant & Aid is an independent company that evaluates the tuition assistance applications. There is a $40 processing fee, payable by credit card to FACTS for the application.
- Applications from families who are new to the school are considered in the order they are received.
- Returning families need to submit their application each year by the Monday following Spring Break.

Families who qualify for tuition assistance often also qualify for the free or reduced lunch prices. Contact office@cpls.org to learn more about applying for the Federal Lunch Program.
The Family Loyalty Program is available to families with two or more children enrolled in K-12th grade. This provides a $300 tuition discount which is $25 per month per child, starting with the second child. For more information about receiving the discount, contact the Business Office at BusinessOffice@cpls.org
Did you know that 529 accounts can be used to pay up to $10,000 each year for K-12 tuition? This allows families to invest money and receive tax benefits with money they use toward tuition. Click here to learn more.
Tuition assistance is not provided for the Little Lions program, nor should Little Lions be included in the student count for tuition assistance.
Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGO)
CPLS partners with two scholarship granting organizations, ACE and Renewanation, that provide income-based scholarships to qualifying families. The chart below shows the range of household income that is eligible for consideration. Note that these scholarships are awarded to the highest need applicants first and qualifying for a scholarship is not a guarantee of being funded.
