Affordable Private Christian Schools (with important updates)

[CHRIS88]

Ottawa Christian School (JK-G8): <http://ocschool.org>; the school is located in Barrhaven; the tuition fee is around 12% of family income (OCS only charge one fee if the family has more than 1 kid attending OCS) with min & max cost < http://ocschool.org/pages/discover-ocs/registe-now/tuition >. The kids of three members of our church are currently attending OCS.

Redeemer Christian High School (G9-12): < http://rchs.on.ca >; the school is located near Costco on Merivale. They have the same tuition policy as OCS. Our pastor's kids are currently attending RCHS.

私立学校不受省教纲影响 (天主教学校是公立性质，受教纲影响)、知识能力养成之外也教导学生基督教价值。学费为１２％家庭收入按家庭收费。即多于一个孩子上同一个学校也只收一个孩子的学费。

有问题请提出，我会尽量解答。当然，各位也可以就自己关心的问题多作些研究来分享。

Bishop Hamilton Montessori School (BHS) is a regular private school in the west <http://www.bhsmontessori.ca>

The school starts from toddler and runs all the way to G8. A few families of our church send their kids to this one.

The tuition fees are charged per students rather than families.

There are two more relatively expensive ones in the east -- non-Christian private schools:
Elmwood School
Ashbury College

哥林多前书 13:4-8

4 爱是恒久忍耐，又是仁慈；
爱是不嫉妒；
爱是不自夸、不自大；
5 不做不合宜的事，不求自己的益处，
不轻易动怒，不计算人的恶，
6 不为不义欢喜，而与真理同乐；
7 凡事包容，凡事相信，
凡事盼望，凡事忍耐。
8 爱是永不止息。

"
It is difficult to explain but it is safe to explain that Christian beliefs are engrained and evident in what OCS teachers say or preach at school and this is evident with students having to attend bible classes, memorize bible verses, etc.

On the other hand, you will really need to check with other private schools on where they stand on the sex ed issue. Not all schools are equal."

 

[CHRIS88]

"
Before the kid(s) enrolled into a Christian school, the principle will have an interview with the whole family (the student & parents). It is difficult for non-believing parents (or at least 1 of them is Christian) to embrace school's philosophy & policy. For example, if the parents do not accept 創造論, it would be hard for the parents to send their kids to Christian school using 創造論 as a framework of teaching.

For non-Christian families, maybe sending their kids to private school (such as BHS or Ashbury) is an alternative way of public school."

About tuition fees:

1. The tuition fee is 12% of family income, i.e., the combination of both parents;
2. The tuition fee is charged on family, not number of students, i.e., the same percentage will be applied to a family if more than kids are sent to the school;
3. The tuition cap (i.e., max tuition per family) is $13,600 if a family has one student; however, it may increase by a few thousands for each additional kid (e.g., a family of our church is paying $15,370 per year for two children); a portion of the tuition is treated as donations;
4. One have to check the website http://ocschool.org/pages/discover-ocs/registe-now/tuition and talk directly with the school to find exact numbers.
