Financial Aid
A key concern for parents considering independent education is tuition costs. Small class sizes, personalized attention and exceptional faculty ensure that the actual cost per student exceeds tuition fees. We understand this is investment, and many families make sacrifices. To balance the quality faith-based education with affordability, Hickory Valley Christian School provides need-based financial aid for K5 through 5th grade students annually.
​
Residents of Hamilton County may also qualify for money through two state-based programs, called Educational Savings Accounts (ESAs) and the Educational Freedom Scholarship (EFS).

Following the assessment day, admissions personnel will meet to make a collective decision about a prospective student's likelihood of success at HVCS. Parents can expect to hear from the school within one week. Acceptance offers will be mailed or emailed to the family. To secure a spot for the applicant the contract must be signed and returned within two weeks with the non-refundable deposit of $400. This is applied towards the tuition​.
