At Emerald Christian Academy we value relationships with our families and students. The first consideration is to understand what is best—educationally and spiritually for your child. All other concerns are secondary.
That’s why we take the time to meet with each and every prospective family. It is important that we understand your child’s educational needs, your family philosophy and how it relates to our school mission
We invite you to meet with our principal for an education consultation. This consultation is designed to actively engage and support you as parents in making wise educational decisions for your child. Schedule a Consultation
We offer a Christian education at reasonable prices to all families who are currently attending or want to attend. Even though our tuition rates are as fair as possible, we realize that the costs of a quality program cannot be covered by every family without some sacrifice. We are happy to be able to offer financial assistance to families who truly desire for their children to attend our school, but cannot afford the entire cost of tuition. It is our fervent goal that no child be denied a Christian education due to finances. All families receive financial aid based on need. We use a third-party confidential objective organization (FACTS financial aid/link) to ensure the process is fair to all.
When you visit our school, we take the time to share all of the financial resources that are available for your family.
