The Jenison Christian School Executive Committee is seeking candidates for School Board; the terms will begin in the 2021-2022 school year. Any member of the JCS Society may submit nominations for the Board. Nomination forms can be found here. JCS Board members serve for a three-year term and, if willing, may serve a second three-year term. The JCS Society elects new members by lot at the annual May society meeting. Nominations are due by February 15th. Our children are the leaders of future generations. We all know how important a Christian education can be in the development of leadership within the context of a Christian world and life view. It is the desire of the JCS Board to seek out persons who understand and support the vision of Jenison Christian, and at the same time represent the growing ecumenical diversity among our student body.

Tuition Assistance for 2021-2022 School Year: We are so grateful for the Jenison Christian Education Foundation, REVIVE Re-store, the JCS Parent Club, many of our local churches, and individuals who annually support Jenison Christian School financially and/or through volunteer time to assist in keeping tuition affordable. If tuition costs for JCS are unaffordable for your family, we invite you to apply for tuition assistance through the JCS tuition assistance program. For the upcoming 2021-2022 school year, JCS will again participate in the online FACTS tuition assistance application program. All parents or guardians requesting tuition assistance through JCS are required to complete an application using the FACTS program to receive JCS tuition assistance. Our first priority regarding tuition assistance will be for families enrolled in full day programming at JCS. The first round deadline for FACTS filing is March 31, 2021. If you have questions regarding this process, please contact Karen Deters, Financial Secretary (457-3301 ext. 162 or Email).
