TUITION CONTRACTS
Onward Christian Academy requires a tuition contract for enrollment; we rely almost solely on tuition income to fulfill obligations and pay our amazing teachers and staff. A signed contract guarantees and protects your child’s seat but also protects OCA’s financial stability and viability as we seek to serve our community for generations to come. OCA is a non-profit organization and operates on an annual cycle, setting tuition rates and committing to financial obligations far in advance of tuition payments received.
OUR LOW, UPFRONT PRICING & TUITION MODEL
We believe that education should be accessible, and therefore we do everything we can to keep costs down, which translates to low tuition rates for you. We run on community fuel, meaning that our tuition income doesn’t cover all of our costs and that our community of teachers and families pitch in to fill the gaps. Finally, we don’t believe in hidden fees, but we do want families to have access to services that are right for them, so we charge extra for specialized or added services and communicate our fees upfront. See below for what you might owe over and above tuition.
