Giving to a Legacy
Making investments into your children and future generations
For 35 years, we have been blessed with supportive relationships between students, teachers, parents, grandparents, alumni, church members, and friends. Together, we demonstrate genuine love for one another and a common mission to academically, emotionally, and spiritually equip our children and future generations to impact our world for Christ.
As an independent school, we rely upon two main sources of income — tuition and charitable contributions. It’s our goal to continue to find innovative ways for our community to support our mission.
The Annual Fund
The Eastside Christian School Annual Fund is an important way for us to make additional investments into our school that will continue to help us provide the best and safest environment for our students to thrive. Historically, giving toward the annual fund provides for investments in security measures, technology enhancements, professional development, facility upgrades, and campus maintenance.
