Tuition
Tuition for the 2026–2027 school year is $13,000 per student.
That figure covers a full year in a classical Christian classroom: disciplined instruction in the fundamentals, daily Chapel and Scripture memorization, Latin, and a faculty committed to forming students in wisdom and character, not just content coverage.
We know $13,000 is a real number for a family to weigh. We’d rather you know it up front than discover it three steps into an application.

Tuition is managed through FACTS Tuition Management. At enrollment, families choose a monthly, semester, or annual payment plan that fits their household.
