PCCS

Excellence and value at affordable rates. PCCS serves middle-class family budgets with Affordable Christian Education. How do we compare? According to the National Center for Education Statistics, 22,400 U.S. private schools offer an average tuition of $12,594 (elementary $11,660, secondary $16,144). PCCS tuition is lower than local and DFW area fully accredited private schools and does not increase every year (and when that does occur, increases are modest and justified by actual expenses such as employee medical and vision coverage or the increased cost of curriculum and supplies--no 2026-27 tuition raise from last year). PCCS is a registered and approved school to receive TEFA private school tuition vouchers (more details at the bottom of this page).
