Current Families

Re-Enrollment for the 2021-2022 School Year

We are excited to launch our first-ever continual enrollment season! Below we have provided you with vital information.

NO CHANGES

If no changes are necessary, you need not do anything; we will assume re-enrollment and will proceed by saving a spot for your child and charging a $250 deposit that will go toward your yearly registration fees.  You will receive a payment agreement on March 1, 2021, and will be able to update your payment options for the 2021-2022 school year in the payment agreement.

PAYING REGISTRATION FEES

To pay registration fees, choose one of the following three options:

  1. Send in a check or cash, payable to FCA, to the FCA office.
  2. Pay on FACTS using PayNow.
  3. Have registration fees debited from your bank account via ACH Debit. There is no charge for the ACH debit service. Click here for the authorization agreement for direct payments (ACH debits) form that must be completed even if an ACH form is currently on file with FCA. Return the form to our office no later than Monday, January 25, 2021.
THINGS TO CONSIDER

Please consider the following when thinking about re-enrollment for the 2021-2022 school year.

  • Open enrollment season for new families begins February 1, 2021.
  • Tuition costs for families who were enrolled PRIOR TO the 2020-2021 school year will increase by $300 per child for the 2021-2022 school year.
  • Tuition costs for families NEW to FCA during the 2020-2021 school year will remain the same for the 2021-2022 school year.
  • Preschool tuition has increased by $150 to $3,900 per child per year for all families.
  • Registration fees will not increase for the 2021-2022 school year.  A $250 deposit will be charged to your FACTS account on February 1, 2021, with any remaining amount being collected on May 1, 2021.  If you currently have a signed ACH agreement we will automatically withdraw the $250 deposit from your account on February 1, 2021, and anything remaining will be withdrawn on May 1, 2021.
  • Academic fees will not increase for the 2021-2022 school year (See the attached tuition schedule and family plan).
  • Payment agreements for the 2021-2022 school year will be distributed on March 1, 2021.

Tuition Reduction

Applications for tuition reduction must be made by March 1, 2021. No applications will be reviewed after this date.

The tuition reduction program at FCA is unfunded. Our tuition reductions are given to those with proven financial need after the first full year of enrollment based on a system called F.A.I.R., which stands for:

  • Financial Need – An independent, third-party service, FAST, assesses financial need based on each applicant’s financial information.
  • Academics – The academic and behavior record of the student(s) will be considered.
  • Involvement – Student(s) and family involvement through volunteer hours will be considered.  
  • Reference – Each family applying for a tuition reduction is required to obtain a pastor reference form.  Additionally, all faculty whom your child interacts with regularly will be consulted.
Steps Necessary to Complete the Financial Aid Application Process
  • Update your service hours in FACTS (RenWeb). All families awarded financial aid are expected to complete no less than 50 hours of volunteer service during the 2021-2022 school year.
  • Secure a pastor reference by returning a completed pastor reference form by March 1, 2021, and return it to the administrative assistant for finance (cravenm@fcaclassical.com).
  • Complete a FAST application form, including tax documentation.
  • Remit a $45 non-refundable processing fee directly to FAST; and remit a $25 non-refundable processing fee to FCA via FACTS (RenWeb).
  • Expect a letter notifying you with a determination about your tuition reduction.
  • Sign and return the letter, signaling your agreement with the terms.
  • Expect to meet with the Head of School for further explanation.
  • Payment agreements for those seeing financial aid will be due one week after meeting with the Head of School.

Tuition Discounts

Faith Christian Academy also offers tuition discounts for children of students or faculty members of Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, senior pastors, and missionaries. Please complete and submit the ministry tuition discount form for consideration.
