These are available for each neighborhood, town or postal designation in the Grand Strand area and are limited to a total of three per neighborhood unless more than three families enroll at the same time when all who enroll from a neighborhood at the same time will receive them.
5. Diversity Encouragement Discounts = $500 off tuition of each child for each type of diversity criteria met.  There are European Heritage (NEW),  Gender, Minority/Ethnicity Discounts and Religion Discounts.

• ***NEW***A sponsor just provided for 5 European Heritage Diversity discounts. They will be on a first come first serve basis. Those eligible include heritages of: Eastern European, Northern European, Southern European, the UK, and Western European.
• There are four Gender Diversity discounts available for boys in each classroom. They go to the first four boys who are enrolled in the class. There are four Gender Diversity discounts available for girls in each classroom. They go to the first four girls who are enrolled in the class.
• There are four Minority/Ethnicity Diversity discounts available in each classroom. They go to the first four students with background ethnicity not listed as the major ethnicity on the City Data for Myrtle Beach page. This number allows our student body to reflect the same percentages of ethnicity diversity as found in our area. Those eligible include heritages of: Asian/Pacific Islander, Black/African/Caribbean, Central American/Hispanic/South American, Indian, Native American, Middle Eastern, or those with a mixed heritage.
• ***NEW***We now have a Religious discount. Showing respect for organized religion, we will offer one discount for each organized  religion to which a family belongs that is different from those already enrolled. In other words, once (and I'll use our facility providers here as an example) someone who is a member of the Greek Orthodox religion is accepted, there are no more of this discount available for those who are Greek Orthodox.

*Why do we do discounts and not scholarships? Discounts are a temporary reduction in our pricing while scholarships are a form of income to the recipient. We choose to reduce our pricing rather than potentially impact your income and tax level. They both result in the same lowered cost to our families but this is the less intrusive version.
