The program involves the purchase of gift certificates from the school at face value for various stores and major retailers (groceries to clothing to books). The retailers discount the gift certificates to the school and in turn, a percentage of the discount is allocated to the participating family, in the form of a tuition reduction. Friends of CCS can direct their allocation to a specific family at the school or to the CCS general fund. Note: The TRIP program is non-refundable.Referral Incentive -Referral incentives are credited to CCS families who refer new families to the school. When new families (introduced to Calvary Christian School by an existing family), register their child(ren) at the school, the referring family will receive a credit that will be applied to their tuition fee at the end of the school year. (Note: The new family must remain at the school for the entire school year in order for the existing family to receive the credit.) The credit may be applied to either the existing family’s tuition or may be given to the incoming family.Contributing to Computers -We are now starting a three year project to update our laptop computers and renew our computer software licenses. The approximate cost for this project, over three years, is $30,000. If you would like to donate to our “Contribute to Computers” project, please use the enclosed envelope. We are able to send you a donation tax receipt for the full amount donated.Bursary Program - Calvary Christian School is developing a bursary/student scholarship programme. We provide some financial assistance to families who want to choose Christian Education for their children but have limited financial resources. We would ask that you consider a donation to the bursary/student scholarship programme and partner with us in this ministry. We will send you a donation tax receipt for the full amount donated. Revenue Canada does not allow donations to be designated to an individual family or student for tuition and still be fully receiptable. We will be developing an application and review process for families to apply to this programme. Please contact the Principal, Ron Wickens, for further information.
