Every student receives a scholarship.

City Academy was founded on the belief that every child should have access to quality education. All scholars receive tuition support through generous donations by both individual donors and foundations. City Academy is the ONLY private, independent school in the region to offer scholarship support to 100% of current scholars.


How is a family’s tuition determined?

Tuition is determined each year based on a family’s income, which is verified annually during the admissions and re-enrollment process. Tuition is recalculated each year to better reflect a family’s current financial situation.
