Private Schools

Giving Tuesday

Your gifts today help year round!

Love Christian education? Partner with a Christian School for #GivingTuesday! Every one of our schools works very hard to keep tuition as low as possible! Our schools are thousands to tens-of-thousands of dollars less expensive than many of the non-Christian private schools in the Greater Pittsburgh area, while giving students God-honoring educations in wholesome, loving, safe environments!

Consider giving to one of these wonderful Christian schools!

Trinity Christian School

Trinity has been growing! Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of student education and facility upkeep and renovation—consider giving to their Annual Fund Campaign to help them meet the needs of this growth! Go here to read more and to give!

Cheswick Christian Academy

Former CCA student Jamie Aiken has initiated the establishment of a scholarship fund in memory of Thomas Mellars. Tom was with the school at its inception in 1978, and served faithfully until 1983 when he unexpectedly died on the job of a sudden heart attack. Jamie Aiken’s generous gift, and all other donations to the fund, will be applied to the tuition accounts of current students experiencing financial hardship. Go here to give!

Greater Works Christian School

Did you know that tuition covers only sixty percent of GWCS’s operating expenses? This funding gap must be made up through fundraising and donations. Please consider joining the many school families, alumni, churches, businesses, and friends who support Greater Works Christian School. Go here to give!

Free lecture—Ecclesiastes: What the Strangest Book in the Bible Teaches Us About Education

Scholé Academy Lecture Hall Presents
Ecclesiastes: What the Strangest Book in the Bible Teaches Us About Education
with Author/Teacher/Consultant Josh Gibbs

Monday, December 6, 2021  |  7:30pm ET

This lecture might interest some of our friends and members of Greater Pittsburgh Christian Schools Network.

From Scholé Academy: No book in the Bible offers a more glum assessment of this life, or inspires deeper yearning for the life to come, than Ecclesiastes. This glum assessment is a caution for those who believe that classical education can “change the world” or that reading old books can help students “get ahead in the world.” And yet, Ecclesiastes also insists that refusing to “love the world or the things of the world” will actually make a man’s life tolerable, joyful, and spiritually fruitful.

This event is free to attend, but registration is required. Click here to register for this Lecture Hall event. (Nota bene: Personal information provided in the registration process will be shared with Josh Gibbs, owner of Gibbs Classical.)

Use Your Income Tax Costs to Help Create Scholarships!

You do not have to have children at our schools in order to help Christian education! If you owe PA income taxes, you could be using that money to give scholarships to kids who cannot afford private education.

The Details:
Citizens who owe state income taxes can designate their Pennsylvania State tax dollars towards our schools’ financial aid programs! You qualify if your individual or combined PA tax liability is $3,500 or more.

The EITC and OSTC tax credits were created by PA legislature to provide tuition assistance in the form of scholarships for income-eligible students.

You can contact any of our schools and they will help you add to their financial aid program.

To see if you may qualify to donate your state tax liability to a Christian school instead, find your PA tax liability on Form PA-40 Line 12 of your most recent tax return. If you owe $3500 or more, you qualify!

Here’s a video explanation!
