Tuition & Fees 2009-2010 Academic Year
This tuition schedule is intended: • to have the top tuition figure approximate the school’s actual cost per student—the benchmark upon which the discounted figures are based; • to help those who need financial assistance in providing their children a Christian Classical education; • to avoid subsidizing the tuition of those who do not need financial assistance; • to take into account the added financial impact of enrolling more than one student; • to avoid a lengthy scholarship application process. As you determine which income level describes your family, please include all sources available to you to fund your child’s education. This means salaries plus all other factors affecting your ability to pay. These factors include, but should not be limited to, relatives who are willing to assist, other assets that could be used, and passive income such as interest, capital gains and dividend income. To calculate the tuition of a half-day Kindergarten student subtract $1,000 from the payment that you would be making at the noted levels.
