Tuition Rates for 2022–23
As a school, Westlake is committed to keeping tuition rates as low as possible. During the economic uncertainty of the past two years, the Board of Trustees decided to freeze tuition rates. However, for the 2022–23 school year, tuition will increase approximately 3 percent. This is necessary in order to pay our regular bills, pay our teachers and staff fairly, and to deal with other rising expenses.
The variable tuition range will expand slightly in order to keep offering the same lower rates for families who participate in variable tuition. If the increased tuition rates present a financial challenge for your family, then we encourage you to apply for a personalized variable tuition rate.
Variable Tuition
To help families with the cost of Christian education, WCA offers a Variable Tuition program (VT) for students entering K–12th Grades. 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.
