Learn how to make a Christian education affordable. Elementary School Tuition Creation Elementary School is a private Christian school and a ministry of Christ Lutheran Vail. It is financially dependent solely upon the tuitions and donations provided by our parents and partners in educational ministry. Attendance at the school comes with a yearly tuition cost requirement. Creation School partners with school tuition organizations (STOs) and private donors to provide support for families that need assistance. Creation School also offers scholarships and discounts in special cases at the discretion of the Director. We strongly suggest that ALL families consider allocating Arizona tax credit dollars to support Christian education at Creation School and encourage family and friends to do so as well. A donation to an Arizona STO allows donors to receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit while funding scholarships for children who could not usually afford to attend a private school. Individuals with an Arizona state tax liability can redirect a portion or all of their state tax liability to an STO. For more information on how to donate please visit https://acsto.org/donors/donate-now . Creation School STO Scholarships are available for all Elementary students. Call the office at (520) 468-7075 for more information or visit the links below for additional information. Creation School is partnered with these Arizona School Tuition Organizations. Families are encouraged to apply to all organizations to maximize funding. Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization Academic Achievement Accessible Arizona Private School Tuition Organization School Choice Arizona Institute for Better Education Arizona Leadership Foundation Arizona Tuition Connection Arizona Universal Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) Program Arizona recently expanded the ESA program to include covering costs of private school for residents who have a K-12 student.
