North Carolina has a scholarship option available for almost all families no matter your income level. The North Carolina Legislature has greatly increased the funding for private school choice, and we encourage all families to apply for the Opportunity Scholarship. The application is online, and only takes fifteen minutes to apply.
Go to k12.ncseaa.edu/opportunity-scholarship to apply.
Even if your family is in a high income tax bracket, each child is likely to get a minimum scholarship of $3,574 per year for 2026 and the lower tier income families receive up to $7,942 per year.
The opening date to apply for scholarships for the following school year is February 1.
However, apply as soon as you are able even if it is late in the spring or summer. Scholarships may be awarded at any point in the year. And tuition paid may be refunded if a late award comes in.. As North Carolina scholarship options have become more popular in recent years, applying for the programs as soon as possible is essential. Funding can be diminished as the programs operate on a first-come, first-served basis.
With available scholarships applied, a student can attend FCS full time from $100 to $450 a month. Please do not let cost discourage you from applying and having an education consultation with us. Part time enrollment for homeschool students may be an affordable and convenient option. Apply and come talk to us.
Litchfield Christian School has been such a beautiful blessing to our family. LCS is a Christ-centered school that challenges students academically, nurtures their creativity, promotes a positive learning environment, and contributes to their spiritual growth. LCS is very supportive, and they encourage their students and their families. Our daughter came into LCS completely broken and empty. Public school had taken a drastic toll on her mental health. She had pleaded with us for over a year to homeschool her. We were at a loss. Our daughter is a very social person, and we knew she needed more. We decided to check out LCS as an alternative. From the very moment we stepped inside LCS, we could see and feel the genuine love. EVERYONE felt as if they belonged. Before our day of observing was over, she had asked if she could please come to LCS. She was smiling and said this place is my kind of place. It's definitely been just that!
Today she is thriving, and she is truly enjoying herself. She loves to go to school, and she loves all of the teachers. She has made good friends and is blossoming in all areas of life. She's even started singing on stage during chapel. This has been the best decision we could have ever made as parents for our daughter. We are incredibly thankful for this opportunity in our hometown, and we truly appreciate that LCS offers grades K-12. How blessed we are to be a part of Litchfield Christian School. We look forward to many more amazing years here.
