The costs of education at a private school are significant. Parents are required to become members four full fiscal years prior to having their children attend ECHS. Pre-support spreads out the cost of ECHS tuition over four additional years to make fees approximately 25% lower while children are attending ECHS. The required pre-support payments begin for families planning to attend ECHS on July 1st of the same year their eldest child enters grade 5. Parents can also choose to sign an agreement with the school and pay a lump sum equal to the total value of the required pre-support amount, prior to July 1st when their oldest starts grade 9.
ECHS Membership
ECHS is blessed to be part of a tremendously supportive Christian community. When many members contribute by praying for us, volunteering and giving financially, it becomes possible under God's blessing to provide Reformed education for every child in the Reformed churches in the catchment area.

As each person or family is in a different stage of life, the school society has designed different tiers of support:

Our experiences from orientation for parents and students, communication between staff, teachers, principal and parents has been fabulous. We are thankful that each subject can be taught with our faith and love for Christ as centre. The school uses the Edsby platform to keep us up to date on what’s going on, grades and assignments as well as the school activities and messages. We appreciate the new Social Emotional Support program to come alongside and support our children also. We feel very thankful and blessed to be able to send our children to this Christian school.
