2019–20 Tuition & Fees

Tuition Rollback

For the first time in recent history, Westlake is rolling back tuition rates instead of increasing them. For next school year, tuition will decrease by 10% for grades 1-12 and decrease by 6% for Kindergarten. We hope this roll back will open the doors for many more families to attend next year!

Variable Tuition

At Westlake Christian Academy, we strive to make education available to families who value a strong academic education that is rooted in Christ, regardless of the family’s ability to pay. To help families with the cost of education, WCA offers a Variable Tuition program (VT). We match your tuition rate to your family’s unique financial position so that tuition at Westlake is not a one size fits all, it’s a range.

Band, Art, Sports, Advanced Course Fees

Fees for WCA optional programs offset a portion of the overall cost of those programs. Sports fees include mandatory accident insurance, tournament registrations, and travel expenses. These fees are used along with donor gifts to fund our programs. Since our programs have different levels of involvement and expenses, our fees are structured accordingly. Homes school students will pay higher fees to offset the budget contribution from full-time student tuition. For information about fees for optional programs, click here.

Tuition Payment Plans

  1. Payment Plans: WCA offers a choice of payment plans. Families may pay annually, semi-annually or monthly. NEW Families enrolling in June or later will have monthly tuition payments calculated based on remaining months through May of the school year. CURRENT continuously enrolled students for 2019–20, the monthly plan begins in June 2019 and includes 11 payments through May 2020 (skipping April 2020, which month is the down payment for the next school year).
  2. Payment Status: For NEW families, the registration fee and first month’s tuition are due prior to a child’s first day of school. CURRENT enrolled students are continuously enrolled once the family submits the Continuous Enrollment Commitment Form.
  3. Electronic Payment Withdrawal: WCA utilizes FACTS Management Company for families electing to pay their tuition on a monthly basis throughout the school year. Go to the WCA’s website and look for the FACTS link toward the bottom of the home page to set up a new account. Returning families who are currently using FACTS, your account is already established and you will use the same account as 2018–19. Contact the business office only if there are changes with your banking information.
