Tuition at Blue Ridge Christian Academy includes the costs of books. Separate fees, usually minimal, will be charged for certain high school courses as needed, supplies, field trips, athletics or other extra-curricular activities, academic competitions, and special events over the course of the school year. There is an additional $100 fee per course for students taking an Advanced Placement (AP) level course. These fees are charged to each family's RenWeb account as they are incurred or over a period of time for more costly field trips. Payment for such fees is due by the first of the month following the month they appear in your account. Tuition and fee balances may be checked daily on RenWeb.

Multi-child discount: Tuition schedule is for oldest child enrolled. A 5% discount is given for each additional family member enrolled. (Example: If a family has a 4th grade and K-5 student enrolled, tuition would be $4,675+$4,441 [$4,675 * .95%=$4,441]).
Scholarship: Families needing help with tuition payments may submit their financial and other information to Family Financial Needs Assessment (FFNA), an independent third party, to see if they qualify for scholarship. Scholarships will be awarded based on need and availability of funds (not to exceed 55% of tuition) to the extent funds are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Payment: BRCA is a non-profit organization under Section 501(c)3 of the IRS code. We desire to offer a quality Christian education at an affordable price while retaining and adequately supporting a highly trained staff. Staffing decisions are made based on enrollment projections and re-enrollment activity. Therefore, parents / guardians should understand that they make a financial commitment to payment for the entire first semester of the upcoming school year, effective on re-enrollment of a current student or acceptance of enrollment of a new student. If a student attends one day or more in the second semester, then parents / guardians have committed to pay for the entire second semester. Exceptions are made only for certain instances, as detailed in the Parent-Student Handbook.
