Tuition
Private Christian education is an eternal investment that calls for a family’s dedicated and prayerful commitment. In setting tuition charges, our board seeks to be simultaneously fiscally responsible and consumer-sensitive, all the while providing the highest level of Christian educational excellence. CCA tuition charges reflect only 89% of the actual cost of educating a student here. As a private, fully independent school, owning and operating our own school facility, CCA is funded primarily by tuition, fees, sundry internal fundraising activities, an annual auction, and contributions.

TUITION MANAGEMENT
We ask our families to enroll with a tuition management company with which we partner - FACTS - to efficiently handle this component of our operation. Normally, families may opt for a 10-, 11- or 12-month payment plan, to be paid in full by June 15 at the end of the school year. Our Business Office would prefer that families enroll with FACTS online at their website: www.factstuition.com. (FYI for the future - if a family wishes to prepay the tuition in one sum by June 15 PRIOR to the start of the new school year, there is a 3% discount.) Parents’ cooperation in returning all materials to us quickly allows us to serve everyone efficiently. All accounts must be current for families to receive report cards, transcripts or other official documents from the school.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
CCA provides financial aid based on a family’s verified financial need, availability of assistance funds, class space, and the student’s ability to maintain academic standing and acceptable conduct. The student’s conduct and academic performance are subject to review each quarter. Families seeking CCA financial assistance must first either have an admission application in process for any and all new students, or, for current students, a re-registration form on file in the Admissions Office. Then, a Financial Aid Application may be completed, available upon request from the Business Office.
The Financial Aid Committee reviews all applications and prayerfully grants aid, giving first priority to existing families, and then to new families, until allocations are exhausted. All information is held in the strictest confidence. As financial aid resources are prayerfully distributed, we would seek to be a mutual blessing one to the other. We invite all parents to share in meeting the needs of our school. Parent volunteers are always needed to serve on a committee, assist in the annual CornuCopiA auction or other fundraisers, work on building or ground maintenance, help in the cafeteria, provide clerical or classroom assistance or serve in another area where our Lord has provided them with a special gift or talent.
