Value of Christian Education & Opportunities to Save on Tuition Costs

Value & Investment

Christian education is one of the best investments parents can make for their children.  Building into the spiritual life and academic success of your child is an eternal investment. We, as a school, strive to partner with parents and churches to raise up children who love the Lord and are equipped to best serve in the world God places them in now and once they graduate from our school. We work hard to offer Christian education at a value attainable for families seeking to enroll. We have also put together opportunities, listed below, for families to save additional money on the overall cost of  tuition.

TAP - Tuition Assistance Program (online auction)

The TAP auction program is run through repocast.com.  100% of the monies earned come back to the school to benefit tuition expenses.  Enrolled families have the opportunity to earn 30-50% towards their own tuition expenses, while also benefiting the school's general tuition assistance fund. TAP program coordinators can be reached at tap@npchristian.org or by phone at (616) 485-1886. Click here for more information.

T.R.I.P. - Tuition Reduction Incentive Program

The Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (TRIP) at NorthPointe Christian is an easy way to reduce your tuition costs.  Families who use TRIP can potentially save hundreds of dollars on their tuition bill. You simply enroll in TRIP, order gift certificates from many local and national restaurants and businesses at face value, and receive a percentage of the purchase as a credit toward your TRIP account. The percentages vary depending on the business from 2% to 20%.  Your TRIP credit is applied to your account twice a year. There is absolutely no extra cost to you. Instant TRIP is available in the Elementary and High School offices, and orders can be made online. Please click here to be directed to our TRIP home page.

NPC Family Referral Program

Word of mouth is our number one  method of advertising! For all the referring our families do, we'd like to give our families a thank-you! $500 will be credited to your tuition account for each family that is recruited by an enrolled NPC family and attends at least one full semester of school. $250 for preschool families.  Check in at any of our school offices for referral "family business cards" to hand out to your friends and family to spread the word about NPC!

Apply for Tuition Assistance Scholarships

Each year the NorthPointe Christian Schools' Board sets aside a significant amount of money to help parents whose income would not normally allow them to pay full tuition.  This assistance may pay up to 50% of tuition for qualifying families.  This assistance is not to be combined with the multiple student discount. Families who have applied to NPC may apply for tuition assistance by clicking here.

Multi-Student Discount

NorthPointe Christian Schools makes available a reduced tuition rate to families needing financial help who have more than one student enrolled. This assistance for multiple students is intended to be a form of financial aid.

Families not taking the assisted rate will be issued a gift receipt for the difference between the two rates.
