Why Continuous Enrollment?

At Trinity Christian School, we recognize the value in a long-term partnership with families in the education of their child(ren). A seamless transition from Early Learning through High School provides consistent progression through academic coursework.

What is Continuous Enrollment?

Continuous Enrollment is a more convenient and efficient way for our families to secure enrollment from year to year. In fact, there is no need to re-enroll for the 2025-26 school year. TCS has moved from an “opt-in” annual Re-enrollment process to Continuous Enrollment, which is an “opt-out” process. We want your child(ren) to receive a rigorous Christ-centered education for many years to come, so we want to make their Continued Enrollment as easy and seamless as possible.

Returning TCS Students

You do not need to do anything. The Tuition Management payment registration and Continuous Enrollment will be completed for you automatically.

The Continuous Enrollment fee is $175. It will be assessed in Tuition Management and processed with your March tuition payment. 

Your current payment plan selection (annual or monthly) will be carried over to the next school year. If you need to make a change, please email tuition@tcslions.org.
