From kindergarten through senior year, 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. On top of the sheer amount of time children spend in school, the hours they are there are usually the best hours of the child’s day. When choosing a school for your child, the decision you face is, Where will my child spend the best hours of the day? How will that time affect the person he or she becomes?
At Rochester Classical Academy, we recognize the fact that those hours are influential and 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
We know that affording tuition is a sacrifice for most families. 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. Most families at RCA receive need-based tuition assistance ranging from 5-85%, depending on demonstrated need.
Many families are new to the world of independent schools and never considered a private school until they discovered RCA. Sometimes when parents hear the words “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.”
In reality, tuition assistance is a normal part of the process for most families.
We invite you to learn more about how to bring an RCA education within reach. Please email or call our Admissions Office at 585-340-7470 to talk about beginning this process.
