Seattle Classical Christian School is a different kind of school. We cultivate:
Well-Trained Minds,
Virtuous Hearts,
and Courageous Faith in God.
We believe that education is not a product, it’s a relationship. It’s a relationship of trust and partnership as we come alongside families to begin with the end in mind. Who do you want your student to be when they leave school’s doors? Who is going to speak into that formation? What is the best environment for your child to grow in all the ways that are important to your family? We believe that as you make your educational decision, those are the most significant considerations, and all others fall in line behind.
We also understand the realities of the expensive city we live in. We understand that enrolling your child at an independent school is a significant financial investment. We do not want financial status to prevent any qualified students from enrolling at SCCS. For that reason, we have a significant needs-based financial aid program to support families who demonstrate a need through our application process. Through this partnership, SCCS is able to close the gap between necessary financial sacrifices and accessibility to life-changing education.
In 2023-24, SCCS provided more than $500,000 in financial aid. You can learn more about the financial aid application process when you visit with us.
To maintain transparency regarding the actual cost of attending SCCS, we are proud to offer “All Inclusive” Tuition Rates
At SCCS, we include all educational costs such as textbooks, art fees, field trips, technology, yearbooks, and school supplies in your tuition. This transparent tuition model helps your family maintain a consistent budget and plan well for the educational investment for your child.

INCLUSIVE TUITION DEtails
This tuition model benefits both YOU and the school. We know that private education is a significant financial investment, and we understand the trial of trying to understand total cost when given tuition plus fees, plus uniforms, plus supplies, plus, plus, plus. This removes the burden of added fees and clearly sets the total cost of your child’s education. This means that variable costs (such as school supplies) become fixed to you. You are able to commit to one price and pay this amount over the course of a year (if you choose the monthly tuition plan).
A handful of items are better suited to remain excluded from the 'All-Inclusive' tuition model, given their personal nature. Families will still be responsible for:
purchasing “personal supply items” such as a backpack and water bottle. (Note: teachers may still offer optional “personal” items that a student may want to select themselves - for instance, a pencil box that reflects your child’s interests - but that will not be required, and the school would provide a standard option)
uniform items for daily and dress use (don’t forget to take advantage of our uniform exchange each year!)
optional all-school family events (Mariner’s Game, Skate Night)
upper school capstone trips
extracurricular clubs
Note that the enrollment fee is not included as part of the educational cost within tuition. An enrollment fee of $200 per student ($500 maximum per family) will be charged to your FACTs account with enrollment secure the student’s spot.
