 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, 5th grade Camp Id-Ra-Ha-Je, Instrument Rental, PSAT, Senior Trip, and in 6th-12th grade: 1-2 paperback novels per year.

Tuition Credit for CCU Dual Credit Course

Starting with the Class of 2026:

  • ECA will provide a tuition credit for a total of 4 CCU Dual Credit courses in 10th-12th grades, conditional upon remaining at ECA until graduation.
  • Credits must be spread out over the 3 years with no more than 2 courses per year.
  • Families must register with CCU, pay for the course, then submit the receipt for the tuition credit.
  • This is equivalent to approximately $200-$800 savings over the 3-year period, at the current Dual Credit class rate.
  • Students who withdraw from ECA for reasons other than outlined in the Continuous Enrollment agreement, will be charged for the CCU class(es) prior to being unenrolled.

    Tuition assistance

    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, therefore subject to their revision.

    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.

    ECA Tuition Assistance

    All families applying for ECA 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 ECA—are “needs-based,” although to varying degrees. While some families may not qualify for ACE or Parents Challenge, they may yet qualify for TA directly from ECA. Current school families may apply for ECA 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.
