Tuition Notes
At Manhattan Christian School we make every effort to balance the desire to keep tuition affordable with the desire to achieve program excellence. The decision to enroll children in private Christian school does come at significant expense and sacrifice for families and we recognize some families will need help in meeting their tuition obligations. MCS strives to make every effort to accommodate that need. Tuition grants will be awarded based on recommendations from an independent consultant, TADS. The application can be obtained after your family is approved for enrollment.
Manhattan Christian is pleased to partner with ACE (Alliance for Choice in Education) Scholarships. ACE is an organization that seeks to have a direct impact in the lives of children by providing scholarships to the private school of their choice. The applications can be obtained after your family is approved for enrollment. A limited number of ACE scholarships are available to MCS students. More information can be found at ACE.
