Tuition at Hill Country Christian School

At Hill Country, we offer need-based tuition assistance determined through FACTS, a confidential third-party process that considers income, assets, expenses, and family size. Awards can cover up to 25% of Kindergarten tuition and up to 50% for Grades 1–12. Families can also benefit from a multi-student discount ranging from 5% to 20% for multiple children enrolled. Multi-student discounts cannot be combined with school-awarded tuition asisstance. Flexible payment plans are available annually, semi-annually, or monthly to help manage tuition costs.

We encourage families to apply for both our Tuition Assistance program and the Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA) vouchers. If financial awards are granted in both programs, families will need to choose which program they want to use for assistance. Aid awarded is not stackable.

How to Apply:
– New students contact the Admission Office to start the process.
– Current families email financialassistance@hccsa.org for application instructions.
– FACTS charges a $45 application fee per family, and applications are processed in about two weeks once documents are submitted.

Hill Country offers a multi-student discount for families with more than one child enrolled: 5% off for the second student, 10% for the third, 15% for the fourth, and 20% for the fifth. Please note that if you receive need-based tuition assistance through FACTS, which considers income, assets, and family size, you are not eligible for the multi-student discount, as these benefits do not stack. Flexible payment plans, including monthly options, are also available to help manage tuition costs. Learn more about our tuition assistance and discounts.

Hill Country Christian School does not offer a scholarship program. However, the school provides need-based tuition assistance to support families who demonstrate financial need. After your child is offered enrollment, you can apply through an independent third party, FACTS, which reviews your family’s financial situation to recommend assistance. Awards cover up to 25% of Kindergarten tuition and up to 50% for Grades 1–12. Families must reapply annually, and the application fee is $45. Alternatively, families who do not receive tuition assistance may be eligible for multi-student discounts, but these do not stack with tuition assistance. For details on how to apply, new families can contact the Admission Office, and current families can email financialassistance@hccsa.org. Learn more about our Tuition Assistance program.
