Fairview Christian School (“FCS”) does not base student admission on race, religion, age, color, marital status, sex, national origin, or disability as required by federal and state laws and regulations (the extent that those laws and regulations apply to FCS). However, nothing contained in the admission requirements constitutes a promise or requirement that FCS admit a student applicant.

TUITION ASSISTANCE (Pre-K – 8th Grade)

We recognize not only the immense importance of Christian schooling, but also the sacrifices that families make to provide the best for their children. For this reason, Fairview understands the vital need for tuition assistance. Since 1985, over 500 students have received over $500,000 in aid through our tuition assistance program, awarded on a needs basis. Our goal is to create a thriving community, made up of diverse families from a range of economic experiences. It is our hope that tuition costs would be the last reason a family would not attend Fairview, and so we diligently work with families to explore different financial options. Download the tuition assistance form and review the criteria, due dates and steps.

Funding for the assistance program is underwritten through the general operating budget of the school, along with generous gifts from Fairview Church, and tax-deductible contributions of individuals, businesses, and foundations. If you are interested in supporting the assistance program, please contact Sharilee West, Head of School, by telephone, 206-526-0762 or make a donation online now.

Whether you are receiving aid, contributing to the aid program, or otherwise participating in the Fairview community, we are glad that you have chosen to be a part of the FCS family.
