Scholarships

ACA’s scholarship funds are prioritized for reenrolling families, but we often have additional funds to offer new families. All scholarship and discount eligibility is determined by FACTS, a third party financial aid assessment to maintain the financial privacy of families.

Refund Policy
All tuition and fees are nontransferable from student to student. Any requests for refunds should be made in writing to the Academy Board for consideration.
Tuition is refundable only if a family experiences death in their immediate family, job transfer out of the area, or if a student does not receive any of the requested classes.
Unused tuition may only be refunded if a family experiences death in their immediate family, job transfer out of the area, a student’s extended illness, or for any course canceled by Anchor Christian Academy. The full financial obligation for registered classes takes place upon receipt of a confirmed class schedule each semester. Dropping a class or withdrawal from ACA does not alter that financial obligation.
All policies regarding tuition apply to activity or elective fees. No refunds, partial or otherwise, may be given to students temporarily barred from participation in electives or extra-curricular activities due to academic or disciplinary problems.
