Kingsway Christian School

What Kingsway Christian School does

Kingsway Christian School is a private, non-denominational, state-chartered Christian school operating as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and located at 11138 Old Lincoln Way East in Orrville, Ohio. The school was founded in 1998 in Wayne County, Ohio, with a mission to assist parents in developing the whole child through education that integrates Biblical worldview with academic instruction. It serves families with children from preschool (ages 3+) through 12th grade, offering a continuous PreK-12 pathway. A founding date of 1992 is reported in firmographic data, conflicting with the 1998 founding event recorded in the company history timeline.

The school's product portfolio is centered on a unified educational program that includes a tiered preschool program (full-day 3 days/week at $346.50/month, full-day 2 days/week at $256.50/month, and half-day 2 days/week at $166.50/month, each billed across 10 monthly payments plus a $75 enrollment fee), a state-chartered K-12 academic curriculum with high-school offerings in Physics, Pre-Calculus, Chemistry, Biology, Environmental Science, and Spanish, plus a College Credit Plus (CCP) program delivered primarily online through Mount Vernon Nazarene University for grades 7-12. Supplemental offerings include athletics (soccer, volleyball, basketball), fine arts (art, choir, band, fall and spring drama, worship team), extracurricular programs (media, yearbook, student council, National Honor Society, community service), mission trips through Golden Rule Travel, and ACSI competitive events. The school's operations run on commodity third-party systems: RenWeb (Agora) for admissions and student information, FACTS Tuition Management for billing and financial-needs assessment, DiamondMind Inc. for lunch payments and capital campaign donations, and embedded Google Calendar for the academic calendar. With a full roster of 64 faculty and staff spanning superintendent, development/admissions, administrative support, operations, school nurse, maintenance, cafeteria, and teachers from preschool through high school, the school has no disclosed proprietary technology platform or AI-driven features.

The school's revenue model blends four streams. Tuition and fees constitute the primary recurring stream, with preschool tuition collected monthly and K-12 tuition processed through FACTS. A donations and capital campaign stream covers general fund gifts, the Eastside Classroom Expansion (a three-phase, $1.236M project adding four new classrooms between June 2025 and July 2026, with $283,125 of Phase 3 still needed), tuition assistance, missions, and designated program support. Government-sourced scholarships include Ohio EdChoice (Traditional and Expansion) and Jon Peterson Special Needs Scholarships routed through the Ohio Department of Education. Finally, tax-credit-eligible donations flow through the Ohio Christian Education Network (OCEN) Scholarship Granting Organization, allowing donors to direct SGO-funded scholarships to Kingsway students. Distribution is omnichannel, combining a website (kingswaychristianschool.net), private Facebook parent group, Remind text messaging, weekly parent emails, shadow days and tours, and one-on-one Educational Success Conversations led by Admissions Director Steve Yoder; the school serves primarily Wayne County and surrounding Ohio communities.
