Frequently Asked Questions
How does Legacy Christian Academy make tuition affordable for families?
We know that enrolling your child at a Christian school is an investment in your child’s future, and we take seriously our responsibility to partner with you in that investment. The school remains committed to providing a plan for need-based tuition assistance in the form of grants in aid.
Tuition may be paid in full or may be spread out for ten monthly payments. Monthly payments are arranged through Tuition Plus Management through automatic withdrawals. Families paying in full for the upcoming school year may be eligible to receive a 3% discount off the annual total tuition.
