Students will be educated in the light of God’s truths, become confident in their identity in Christ, discover their God-given talents, develop a heart ready to serve, and establish meaningful relationships with others.

Preschool Tuition Payment Policy
It is the school’s policy that tuition is kept current even while waiting on
Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) or School Tuition Organization (STO) funds. WVCS depends upon tuition dollars to pay our faculty and staff. We cannot wait to pay our employees until after your ESA or STO funds arrive. These payments can sometimes take significantly longer to arrive than anticipated. Past-due tuition does incur late fees, and accounts that are past due without a timely resolution may result in a student being removed from class.
- The WVCS Preschool program runs from August – May (10 months). The first payment is billed on August 1, and the last payment is billed on May 1.
- WVCS can set up automatic payments on a recurring monthly date with a credit card on file. See the WVCS Business office to use this option.
- Any payment received after the fifteenth of the month will be considered late and the account will be assessed a $25 late charge.
- If an account becomes more than 30 days past due, the student may not be allowed to attend class until the account is brought current.
- There is a $25 charge on all checks returned by the bank.
- If annual tuition is paid in full by the first day of school, the family will receive a five percent discount.
- Parents must inform the finance office upon acceptance of an ESA contract in any quarter.
- The School board requires that all unsatisfied debt from the prior school year be due and payable to WVCS. Students may not return to school for a new year if the account remains delinquent from the preceding year.

Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA)
Every Arizona K-12 student qualifies for the ESA program thanks to legislation passed in 2022. This program is open to all children regardless of what school they currently attend or their family income level. Families can expect to be awarded $4,000-$6,600 per child by the ESA program to choose which school best fits their child’s needs. Families who choose to accept the ESA funds cannot accept any STO (School Tuition Organization) scholarships.
School Tuition Organization (STO) Scholarship
STOs are organizations that provide scholarships to families through tax credit donations. These scholarships can significantly reduce the cost of tuition for eligible families. West Valley Christian School is a preferred partner of Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization (ACSTO). When an Arizona taxpayer donates to ACSTO, they receive a dollar-for-dollar credit against their tax liability. That same donor can identify a school or recommend a student who is not their own dependent to be considered for a scholarship.
In addition to working with ACSTO, our school partners with other scholarship providers who are committed to making it possible for your student to attend West Valley Christian.
Income-Based Scholarships
Some families may be eligible for corporate tax credits based on their family size and income. Your family may be eligible for a corporate scholarship through one of our partner STOs. We encourage you to learn more about the eligibility requirements and apply with one of our partner STOs listed below.
