The verdict

At $21,740 base tuition (2025-26), Bellevue Christian's Clyde Hill campus sells something specific: unapologetic evangelical formation wrapped around a genuinely credentialed college-prep program, at well under half what Seattle's elite secular independents charge. The credentials are real, with 13-plus Advanced Placement (AP) courses, up to 74 concurrent college credits, and 97% of graduates going on to college. Two features deserve more attention than the brochure gives them. First, the Student Academic Services (SAS) program, which embeds NILD-accredited one-on-one educational therapy for learning differences in a mainstream Christian school. That is nearly unheard of in this sector, but it costs an additional $16,230 a year under a contract that keeps families on the hook for 80-90% of that money even if the school itself asks the student to leave mid-year. Second, the money mechanics generally. The FY2024 filing shows a $2.4 million operating deficit, and the fee architecture (non-refundable enrollment fees, early payment calendars, strict clawbacks) is built to lock revenue in early. Families aligned with the mission get unusual value here. Families on the fence about the faith component, or weighing Student Academic Services for a child with behavioral complexity, should read every contract clause before signing.
