Tuition Assistance (TA): ECA seeks to partner with families throughout this community who share our convictions for a classical Christian education. We do not want tuition to impede such families from coming to our school. Our Tuition Assistance options have grown significantly in the last several years, and we encourage you to apply. TA is not available for Pre-K, but is for the Kinder Bridge program. See our website for more information. 

Fees: We do our best to minimize fees however some fees do exist for individual students in certain grades and classes. Some common fees include, but are not limited to, athletics, yearbook, field trips, 6th-12th Fall Retreat, 5^th grade Camp Id-Ra-Ha-Je, Instrument Rental, PSAT, Senior Trip, and in 6^th-12^th grade: 1-2 paperback novels per year. 

The typical family at ECA makes many sacrifices for their children to attend. With that in mind, we realize some families may need additional help. We are very grateful for our partner organizations and individual donors who make a private school education more accessible for several of our families. There are three primary sources of Tuition Assistance at ECA:

The Alliance for Choice in Education

The Alliance for Choice in Education is a privately-funded program for low-income families who meet criteria specified by the ACE Scholarship organization. Scholarships are for full-time students and awards are typically $2000 per year for grades K-8 and $3000 per year for grades 9-12. Scholarships carry a four-year funding commitment, provided the student remains in good standing at an eligible school. ACE Scholarships are independently administered by the ACE organization, and awards are subject to ACE criteria and eligibility requirements. More information HERE.

Parents Challenge

Parents Challenge empowers low-income parents with the financial, informational, and personal resources they need to choose, and actively participate in, the best available education for their children. Parents Challenge provides partial tuition scholarships and grants for children in grades Kindergarten through 12th grade. More information HERE.

Evangel Tuition Assistance

All families applying for Evangel Tuition Assistance (TA) will apply via FACTS (one FACTS application will serve as the basis for both ECA and ACE awards).  All three forms of TA (ACE, Parents Challenge, and Evangel) are “need-based,” although to varying degrees. While some families may not qualify for ACE or Parents Challenge, they may qualify for TA directly from Evangel. Current school families may apply for Evangel TA via their re-enrollment packet. New families may apply for TA at any time during the admissions process by following instructions on this page.
