Funding at this school
Valley Christian Heritage School appeared as a participating school in the state TEFA finder on October 12, 2026, so a student with an Education Freedom Account can apply the 2026-27 award of $10,474 to tuition here. Odyssey pays the school on the state's behalf in three parts: 25% on July 1, 25% on October 1 and the last 50% on February 1.
Many Valley church schools charge about what the award pays, or less, and the state's tuition rules make them keep member and sibling pricing for TEFA families. Congregation-run campuses can also be eligible for our partner scholarship, open to families at any income.
