Admissions

At Cambridge Christian School, we are blessed with a diverse student body. Our families come from a variety of denominational backgrounds and attend over 30 different congregations in Cambridge and the surrounding area. We value this diversity and believe that it deepens each child’s education as they learn from and alongside each other.

At Cambridge Christian School, we seek to encourage a positive, respectful, and caring Christian character within our student body as we seek to nurture disciples of Christ. We expect that families who enroll at CCS will be actively encouraging their children to speak truthfully, own mistakes and learn from them, exercise self-control, and display the fruits of the Spirit. As families journeys with us in community at CCS, we aim to assist them in a pursuit of equipping their children to become Christ-centred thinkers, communicators and worshippers. Walking alongside and providing positive reinforcement to our students as they interact within our school community is one of our tasks as Christian educators. We are thankful to partner with Christian families who are striving to teach Christ-like character at home which we can help reinforce at school. We love the families in our school community, and we are thankful for the opportunity to be a mutual benefit to each other.

Tuition

Striving for Excellence in Academics Since 1967

We are so thankful that you are here considering an excellent education for your children. At Cambridge Christian School, we know that for many families, choosing Christian Education involves a reliance on God and a level of financial sacrifice to meet this need. We appreciate the longing in your heart as parents to do what is best for your family, and we are here to partner with you.

We are an independent, non-profit, Christian elementary school that relies entirely on tuition fees, donations, fundraising, and Society Membership fees to meet the operating costs of the school. We do not receive government funding. Our family rate tuition fee is reviewed and set by the Board of Directors and approved by the Society Membership at the annual spring meeting.

We provide a discount to new families for their first year of tuition if they register before May 31. We also provide a discount for families who are paying tuition for Christian High School and/or Christian post-secondary school. A tuition assistance program is available for families who apply and qualify.

Additionally, as a non-profit organization, Cambridge Christian School is a registered charity, and parents are able to claim a portion of tuition, depending upon the number of children enrolled and the cost per student, as a charitable donation on their tax return.
