Tuition

Tuition is set on an annual basis.  Discounts apply if the full tuition is paid by August 1st and/or for families with multiple children enrolled in VCA.  Financial aid may also be available for those who qualify.  Payment options include 9, 10, 11, or 12-month choices.  The tuition schedule is available approximately March 1st for the following school year.

Registration and Re-enrollment Fees

A registration fee of $95 is charged to new students when applying for admission to Victory Christian Academy.  A re-enrollment fee replaces the registration fee for subsequent years.  The registration and re-enrollment fees are non-refundable.  Re-enrollment fees are on a sliding scale for students who are returning to VCA.  Those who re-enroll early receive a lower fee.  This is to enable us to better plan for curriculum, faculty, and classroom needs.  The re-enrollment fees for returning students in Grades 1-6 are as follows:

If paid by May 1st:  $35

If paid by August 31st:  $65

If paid after August 31st:  $95

Book Fees

Students in Early Fives and Kindergarten are charged a $100 book fee; students in Grades 1-6 are charged $150; students in Grades 7-12 are charged $200.  Book fees are due at the time of registration and are non-refundable.

Financial Aid

Victory Christian Academy may offer financial aid to help to eligible families at the discretion of the school board within the following guidelines:

1. Financial aid will only be given to the extent that space is available in the classrooms.

2. A maximum cap of $10,000 will be available for financial aid.

3. Parents of returning students must apply for financial aid with all forms turned in by May 1st prior to the school year for which they wish to receive a discount.  Failure to do so will forfeit any consideration of a tuition discount for the next school year. 

4. The amount of financial aid will be based on the VCA school board’s approval and parents’ income as demonstrated by a signed photocopy of their most recent Federal 1040 form.  Financial aid amount is 40% or less of the individual student’s tuition rate. 

5. Financial aid will be processed by re-application each year.

Upon request, children of full-time pastors will receive a 40% tuition discount and children of part-time pastors will receive a 30% tuition discount, based on the 12-month plan.

Children of full-time teachers and staff will receive a 50% tuition discount.  This applies to children for whom they are parent or legal guardian.

Tuition Payment Policy

VCA has implemented the FACTS Tuition Payment Plan for families who choose to pay monthly.  Families will be able to pay their tuition in one of following three ways:

1. Payment in Full – This payment is made directly to the school by August 31st.

2. Payments through FACTS are due on either the 5th or 20th (your choice).

Utilizing the FACTS program enables us to give increased time and attention to our educational goals, while allowing us to maintain decision-making control and the ability to be able to adjust to any special circumstances that may arise.  FACTS has a variety of payment options.  Bank payments are made by having the funds transferred from your bank on the 5th or the 20th of each month.  There is a FACTS fee of $41 per family, per year for this option.  Tuition can also be paid using a credit card, for which FACTS will add a “convenience fee” of 2.5% in addition to the $41 fee.  Click on the image below to begin the FACTS e-Cashier payment process.

Fundraising Policy

Each family is expected to participate in raising funds for the school.  Full participation in fund-raisers would involve raising at least $250/student each year (Early Fives and Kindergarten - $150).  Some parents would rather not participate in fundraisers, so a “buy-out” option is available.  This involves paying VCA $250 for each student at the beginning of the year. 

Field Trips/Activity Fees

Because tuition does not cover all costs, students may be assessed fees for field trips or activities.  We will attempt to keep these fees to a minimum, but parents will be responsible for providing these funds.

Early Withdrawal Policy

Since Victory Christian Academy has an obligation to its employees, students are considered enrolled for the entire year; however, if a student is withdrawn from VCA at any time before completion of the school year, the tuition is calculated by the school quarter, unless special written exception has been authorized.  If a student leaves the school for any reason, or enters after the school year has begun, then charges are pro-rated according to quarters.  An exception may be made to pro-rate to actual days school was in session plus curriculum costs, if approved by the School Board in an appeal stating reasons, with supporting documents.

Under no circumstances shall any application fees, curriculum or facility fees be refunded.  No portion of tuition shall be refunded for a student dismissed by expulsion or disciplinary reasons.
