Tuition Philosophy
Capstone Classical Academy believes that exemplary stewardship of financial resources is a God-given responsibility. Tuition dollars represent a sacred trust between parents and school leadership, and we believe that we will answer to God for how we manage the resources with which He has entrusted us for the holy calling of education. Tuition is set by the board of directors in order to fulfill the mission of the academy with excellence—to the glory of God and for the blessing of our students. We accomplish this through prayer, generosity, and sacrifice, but we will always charge enough tuition to keep our promises to our partners. We are also committed to making a classical Christian education accessible to as many families as possible through our tuition support program, The Golden Gryphon Fund. Every January, an annual report that details how well we are accomplishing these goals will be provided to all Capstone stakeholders because we all share the same objectives and benefit from the thoughts, questions, and feedback of one another.
At Capstone, our tuition and fees cover all classroom activities and the delivery of the full scope of our school-day academic program. There are no fees for technology, textbooks, workbooks, or other curriculum. Extracurricular activities may, at times, require payment of a nominal fee to offset expenses incurred by the school by offering those after-school activities. These activities will be entirely optional.

Tuition Support Program
Thanks to the generosity of enthusiastic friends of the academy, Capstone offers a robust tuition support program for families that could benefit from tuition support to make a classical and Christian education possible for their children.
You may apply for tuition support program with our partner, FACTS Tuition Management. FACTS conducts a financial needs assessment. For new students, tuition support application will not be considered until you complete your application for admission. Students who are currently enrolled and returning need not resubmit an application for admission.
Upon completing the application for admission, you will need to apply for support through the FACTS financial aid portal and submit all supporting documents requested there. The application requires a $40 fee to be paid upon submission. The priority deadline is April 15, but applications will be considered year-round. The earlier you complete your application for admission and your tuition support application, the more likely it is that there will be funds available to you. If you need assistance with the application, you may call FACTS family care at 866-441-4637.
