Tuition
The importance of quality education is at the heart of Dunnville Christian School. We understand that education is the most important factor in your decision to send your child/ren to our school, which is why we offer top quality education centered around current Ontario curriculum, with the addition of focusing on and recognizing God's role and message in each subject. We also understand that with such education comes the necessity of addressing cost.
Our tuition is currently a per family rate, not a per student rate, and it also includes transportation.
In regards to tuition, we have various financial aid opportunities and bursaries available, and as each family is unique, a personal consultation would be the best way to work out those details. We are comparable to other Christian schools in our area.
Above all, Christ is at the centre of everything we do at DCS, and we understand that providing your child/ren with a quality education that also encourages them to grow in their faith in God is not only a spiritual investment, but a financial one as well. Let's talk about how we can make Christian education possible for your family.

Fundraising
- DCS is a parent-operated school. We do not receive any form of government funding. In order for this institution of Christian education to operate, we rely on various fundraisers to keep the cost down for tuition-paying parents. This is a community effort which provides our school families with over $3,500 in tuition reduction per family. This is truly a blessing for everybody involved! The funds that are received during fundraising efforts are equally distributed among all families. Therefore, participation from everybody is encouraged!
- Pillars of Support Campaign
- Pillars of Support encompasses the entirety of Dunnville Christian School. The word “support” is used because four pillars together provide the support needed to sustain DCS for the long-term, built on the foundation of prayer and the Word of God. One of the pillars is "Fundraising," which encompasses all of our efforts as a community listed below. An annual campaign also takes place with the specific goal of keeping tuition affordable and offsetting major capital costs needed to ensure the sustainability of Dunnville Christian School.
