On a monthly basis
Can you sponsor a child?
The tuition for our school is at a minimal cost to each student. We only charge about half of what the actual costs should be. Unfortunately some families cannot even meet this small monthly amount.
The tuition fees per month are as follows:
Kindergarten $25 US / month
Lower grades $50 US / month
Upper grades $75 US /month
If you would be interested in helping to sponsor a student please contact us.
THANK YOU to our faithful donors who are sponsoring students by paying their monthly tuitions!

Sponsor a teacher or worker
Without teachers our students will be playing rather than learning. Our teachers come to us as missionary workers receiving no financial compensation from the school. They live on the school grounds for a minimal rent and are able to use school vehicles when they are available. Teachers may be sponsored for any amount on a monthly or quarterly basis. You will have direct communication with the worker you support.

Make lunch
We no longer have free lunches and God has provided for us in many ways. If you would like to make lunch for the students and staff, send us your recipe and a check to cover the cost of supplies. We will make it and send you a picture!
THANK YOU to our faithful Monday and Tuesday cooks who prepare yummy meals and deliver them hot at noon!

Annual Projects

Buy them books or uniforms
We buy the students’ books for them at the beginning of each school year. The families who can afford it pay a $75 matriculation fee to help with the cost of books and school supplies. The actual cost for these purchases is anywhere from $100 to $175 depending on the subject matter and grade level.

Buy school uniforms for any child.  The uniform is a white polo shirt and blue dress slacks for the boys, a blue skirt for the girls.

ONE TIME PROJECTS
Computer replacements
Several of our computers are leaving us... slowly but surely. We are interested in replacing them and are praying for the $ to do so.
THANK YOU TO OUR RECENT DONOR who provided a gift for two new ACER CPUs with wireless attachments and an extended three year service warranty :-) for the classrooms. We are excited to have a Best Buy store in the area now.

REtop the multi-purpose games court
Our court is getting older and needs some refurbishing. Additionally we are looking into a gentler top so that little knees do not get shredded when their owners fall. We estimate this project (surfacing, backboards, backstop/fence) to be about $2000.  ( We are looking into http://www.aplusplaygrounds.com/pourinplace and are open to suggestions.)

Help us get a car or van.
The school owns two 15 passenger vans which are available only for staff over 21 years of age to drive. The school also owns a minivan which is used for business trips and student transportation. All of our vehicles are approaching the 10 year mark.  We are looking into the purchase of a car in an effort to be environmentally friendly and save on gas and other expenses. A car can be purchased for $5000 or less.

THANK YOU to the two car owners who recently donated their cars to ESD!  (One is being used by the staff for running around and doing errands while the other is currently on-loan to one of our volunteers.)

Tax receipts will be issued for all donations.
