The Road Ahead

I start planning for next year about the time this year begins. In fact, our Leadership Team is constantly and consistently looking 3-5 years ahead of where we are. We do this in order to be proactive rather than reactive. One important piece - to you - that I study carefully is our costs. We are crafting what stewardship of resources looks like for Tacoma Baptist Schools. We are also studying your costs and trying to listen to your feedback about those costs.

Next year's tuition will have very few changes. Go to www.southsoundchristian.org/tuition for more information. You will notice minor adjustments for Elementary (increase) and Junior High (decrease). There is no change to High School. Our long term goal is to decrease the price difference from one division to the next. These adjustments reflect a movement in that direction. Our hope is that we will continue to see increased enrollment, which will allow us to hold tuition prices as low as possible. Who knows, maybe we can one day look at decreasing tuition.

I am doing all that I can to keep our costs down. Will you help us out with one thing? Since our path forward is in continuing to increase enrollment, will you invite people to consider TBS? Many families come to TBS because they know someone who is already at TBS. Your assistance in reaching out to others increases our ability to hold costs down.

It's exciting to look down the road and see where we are going.
