Tuition Affordability

Rockbridge Academy seeks to enroll families who are committed to the mission and vision of the school and who desire their children be educated in the classical Christian tradition.  The Tuition Affordability program makes a Rockbridge Academy education more accessible for more families by identifying a personalized, affordable tuition that represents a sustainable commitment for a family based upon family size and finances.

All families are encouraged to apply if they think they might qualify.  Families who might not normally be eligible for traditional tuition assistance may qualify for a modest discount.  

In the spirit of coming alongside each family in the education of their children, our Tuition Affordability program offers a personalized approach to managing the cost of tuition for each family. Please click the "Affording Tuition" button to begin your FACTS Financial Aid Application.

Tuition Affordability FAQs

Rockbridge Academy offers three payment plans to help families plan for their investment.

       Annual Payment Plan

Tuition less the non-refundable enrollment deposit, due July 10

      Semester Payment Plan

Tuition less the non-refundable enrollment deposit, due in two equal installments on July 10 and February 10

      10-Month Payment Plan

Tuition less the non-refundable enrollment deposit, due in 10 monthly installments on the 10th of each month from July to May, skipping January when a re-enrollment deposit is due for the next school year.

      The first two plans have no annual fee.  The 10-month option has a $55 annual fee.

New families that apply for Tuition Affordability by January 15 will receive a Tuition Affordability determination at the same time as the offer of admission.

New families are encouraged to apply at the time of application. Current families must re-apply each year.

Apply for the Tuition Affordability program by accessing FACTS Financial Aid application below.  The application will request certain financial information including the most recent W-2’s and prior year tax returns.  Your application is then summarized objectively and securely for review by the school.  Your privacy and the protection of your data is our concern throughout this process.  If there is information that is unavailable at the time your application is submitted, you may add it at a later date.

Apply for Tuition Affordability

In addition to tuition, families should expect to pay for the non-refundable admissions fee, new uniforms, hot lunch options, tuition/re-enrollment deposit, Junior and Senior Soirée, and any before or after school program such as athletics and instrumental or orchestra participation. 

Students do not pay a fee for graduation, books or curriculum, Grammar Feasts Days, or admissions testing. Rising seniors do not pay a fee for the Grand Tour, a seventeen-day capstone tour of Greece and Italy. 

Apply Annually: Tuition grants do not renew automatically and must be applied for each year.

Payment of prior-year tuition: Existing tuition accounts must be current.  Tuition grants will be revoked if the prior year account is not paid in full before the first day of school.

Completeness of Application: Rockbridge Academy uses the FACTS Grant & Aid system to receive Tuition Affordability applications. The application form must be complete, and all available tax forms submitted before an application will be considered. Since the recommended submission dates are before W-2s are received, it is expected that the most recent W-2 will be added to the application as soon as it is available.  Where the application is unclear, additional information may be requested.  Failure to submit all required documentation may result in forfeiture of the grant.

Appeals: A grant determination may be appealed. An appeal must be in writing and should present new or different information. Written appeals should be made to the headmaster with factual clarity and dispassion.

Withdrawals: The grant amount accrues to the student account at the same rate as the family pays tuition. If a student withdraws from school during the year, or is expelled, the remaining grant will be revoked.

Mid-year Financial Hardship: Funds are reserved for hardship needs that may arise during the course of the school year. If a family experiences a financial disruption mid-year and funds are still available, the application will be considered.

Change in Financial Circumstances: Parents should expect to pay more toward their children’s tuition if their financial situation improves during the year so that more eligible families may be served by the program. Therefore, parents must notify the school if the family’s financial condition changes during the year. Failure to comply will affect eligibility for further assistance.

Confidentiality: Strict confidentiality will be maintained throughout the entire application process. This includes information submitted to FACTS as well as any communication made directly to the school. Confidentiality extends to all documents submitted, including tax returns and personal financial data.

Non-discrimination: All grants are made without regard to race, color, national, or ethnic origin.

Divorce or Separation: In the case of divorce or separation, both parents must complete a FACTS Grant & Aid application.

Rockbridge Academy uses FACTS, a third-party financial aid assessment service. The FACTS Parent Financial Customer Service number is 866-412-4637 for any questions pertaining to the online application.
