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. An aid application fee will be assessed by FACTS.
The financial aid committee will award aid to qualifying families in monthly cycles beginning March 15. Applications completed first will be prioritized, but note that your 2023 tax forms must be submitted with your application. |

If a student withdraws after the enrollment or re-enrollment has been submitted, a written withdrawal request must be submitted to the Head of School.

Before July 1: 2/3 of total tuition refunded/forgiven
Before Aug 15: 1/3 of total tuition refunded/forgiven
No tuition refund will be possible after Aug 15.
Exceptions will only be considered if a family experiences death in their immediate family, job transfer requiring a household move more than 45 minutes from the campus or extreme extenuating circumstances. All requests for exceptions should be made in writing to the ACA Board of Trustees for consideration. A board decision will be made within 30 days of the receipt of the request.
