NEWS AND INFORMATION
Have you heard of the Invest in Kids Act and the private school scholarships that result? In August 2017, the Illinois Legislature passed Senate Bill 1947, which allows both corporations and individuals in Illinois to direct their state income tax liability by making a charitable donation to a state-certified scholarship organization.
For more information about the Invest in Kids Act, click here -- http://www.revenue.state.il.us/InvestInKids/ If you fit into a category that qualifies for scholarship eligibility (chart is listed below), we encourage you to fill out an application because the program is based on first-come, first-serve. Fill out the application NOW to get your spot in line -- https://acsi.formstack.com/forms/ctf_student_application_il The application is easy to complete and should take you less than 10 minutes. Also, during this application, there is no income verification!! 
The choice you make for your children's education shapes them academically, spiritually, and in their worldview. At Grace Christian School, we are equipped to address each of these developing areas of your child's life. And we take this responsibility seriously! Consider the GCS advantage.
