Tuition & Affording RCA

Why RCA

From kindergarten through high school graduation, the time a child spends in school is greater than all other activities except for sleep, and that includes time with parents and church combined. When choosing a school for your child, one decision you face is, Where will my child spend all these hours? How will that time affect the person he or she becomes?

At Rochester Classical Academy, we recognize the fact that those hours are hugely formative and we hold in high regard the responsibility of partnering with parents to steward the academic and spiritual gifts each child has been given.

“We have found for our daughter that the investment in a Christian classical education is worth every penny.” – Issac, RCA parent

Affording RCA

At RCA, we make every effort to ensure that families of all financial backgrounds have access to the premium Christian formation and academic experience we provide. For families that qualify, we offer tuition assistance on a sliding scale that ranges from 5% to 85%, depending on demonstrated need and availability of funds. Our goal is strong families not profit margins, so please don’t let a possible financial burden keep you from applying.

Sometimes when parents hear the terms “tuition assistance” or “financial aid,” they think “I make too much money to qualify” or “I don’t want to take money away from those who need it more.” At RCA, more than 75% of our families receive some level of financial aid.

In reality, applying for tuition assistance is a normal part of the process for most families.
