Tuition and Financial Aid

2019-20 FFCS STUDENT TUITION
As FFCS typically does each January, we have updated next year’s tuition information. In addition to making you aware that this information is now available, we wanted to explain the need for a larger increase than in recent years. A number of factors contributed to the increase; the Washington State minimum wage increase and public school teachers negotiating substantially larger contracts are two of the biggest items. We, in turn, are increasing our tuition rates for next year to ensure that we can continue to support the high quality of teachers we employ at FFCS. Our teachers are the heart of this school and the majority of the tuition increase will go to supporting salaries and benefits. Please contact Amanda Close (aclose@ffcs.org) with any questions.

LASTING LEGACY ACCOUNT PROGRAM
At the start of the 2016-2017 school year, FFCS launched our “Lasting Legacy” Program. An account was established for every student beginning in Pre-K up through 12th grade. This awards a $100/year (accumulative) credit that will be applied as a tuition discount at 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th grades. This means that a family whose child starts in the pre-kindergarten program could see a reduction of their tuition of up to $1,400 by that student’s senior year of high school! We are excited that some families will be receiving up to a $300 discount on their tuition next year as part of this program.
