Spiritually, we expect our students to:

  Scriptures.

Attitudinally, we think our students should:

• want to be at OCS/VCHS

• take their educational responsibilities seriously.

Tuition and Fees
Tuition Information - Current tuition and fee information, or schedules, may be obtained from the OCS/VCHS business office. A Tuition Reduction Plan is in place to help make tuition more affordable for families.
Tuition and Fee Payment Policy - Payment of registration fees, tuition and any other fees is necessary for the school to function properly. Among other things, such fees help to pay our teachers’ salaries and for the textbooks used in class. Prompt payment, in full, is an obligation, which parents have agreed to and which must be carried out (Nehemiah 10:32-30; Proverbs 3:27-28; 1 Timothy 5:18).
Payment Plans - Payments of tuition may be made in one of three ways:

• Annual Payment - Full year’s tuition paid by July 1st directly to OCS/VCHS (3% discount applied).
• Semi-Annual Payments – Half tuition paid July 1st and January 1st directly to OCS/VCHS (1% discount applied).
  The annual and semi-annual payment options can be made directly to the OCS/jVCHS business office by check or money order.
• Monthly Payments - To begin July (12 months) or August (11 months); (no discount). Monthly tuition is paid through FACTS Tuition Management Program. There is a $41.00 FACTS enrollment fee that will be automatically debited from the applicant’s account after the FACTS financial form is submitted. The FACTS financial form must be completed and submitted to the business office after acceptance into OCS/VCHS has been established.

Payment due date options are the 5th or the 20th of each month. MasterCard, Visa and Discover are also accepted as forms of payment, but will incur a fee of $2.50 per $100.00 charged for each transaction.
Payments not collectible on the agreed upon date will incur a $25.00 FACTS missed payment fee plus any fees established by the individual’s banking institution. FACTS will automatically attempt a second debit from your account on the next possible due date (Example: you choose the 5th as your payment date; insufficient funds on the 5th will attempt to be collected on the 20th). Your child will be subject to dismissal from OCS/VCHS if delinquency of payment occurs over a two-month period.
Missed payment fees can be avoided by contacting the OCS/VCHS business office 5 days prior to the automatic debit date.
All registration fees are non-refundable unless the following circumstances would arise; (1) a child is not admitted as a student to OCS/VCHS or (2) a child is prevented from becoming a student at OCS/VCHS due to a waiting list. The registration process cannot be completed until the registration fee has been paid.

Partial Enrollment
Partial enrollment will not be permitted at OCS/VCHS. Students in the middle school and high school have some choices of what courses to take, but do not have the choice of how many courses to pay for. In order to plan accordingly and pay the expenses involved in a full-service educational facility, full tuition will be required for all students enrolling at OCS/VCHS. An exception to this would be our limited enrollment service for homeschooled children (see below).

Homeschool Limited Enrollment
In order to provide homeschooled students with access to our programs and facilities, OCS/VCHS offers limited enrollment for homeschooled children. All families must follow the enrollment procedures for new students and be accepted into the OCS/VCHS program. After acceptance into the program, costs will be based on the programs being utilized. Classes are based on a credit hour rate, while extra-curricular activities are based on a one-time, per activity fee. For more information, please contact the school office. A diploma from OCS/VCHS cannot be obtained through limited enrollment.

Tuition Reduction Plan (TRP)

We understand the challenge of keeping tuition affordable for our current and future families.  To help, OCS/VCHS is offering the opportunity for our families to work together with the school to fund a portion of their Christian education by utilizing the innovative Tuition Reduction Plan as described below.

Great Lakes Scrip Program

The Great Lakes Scrip Program provides a way to help offset tuition costs.  Gift cards for places normally shopped are purchased at face value through OCS/VCHS.  A percentage of the order total goes towards a designated student’s tuition bill and a small amount offsets the cost of running the program. Click here for a list of participating retailers. Please contact Director of Fundraising Carey Holtz at 920-231-9704 x20 for more information.

Other current fundraisers that qualify as TRP’s are the monthly Market Day orders and the annual Entertainment Books sales.

Other Tuition Discounts

Referral Discount – A current family, that recruits a new student, earns a $500 tuition credit for each new student enrolled; when that student indicates that they heard about the school through a current family. This discount is applied upon enrollment of the said student into the OCS/VCHS program. This discount is transferrable. If the recruited student withdraws from school, the discount will be reduced accordingly. Employees of OCS/VCHS are not eligible for the referral discount.

Pastor Tuition Discount - A 25% tuition discount is available for the children of all qualified pastors that apply.

Distance Discount – A tuition discount is applied to families that must travel too the school according to the following guidelines:

                              Less than 20 miles from the school:         no discount
                              20 -30 miles from the school                       $150/family
                              31 + miles from the school:                          $200/family

Please contact the OCS/VCHS business office for more information at 920-231-9704 x16.
