Variable Tuition
Variable Tuition allows Westminster Christian Academy to offer a range of tuition rates that make Christian education accessible for families. Instead of one set tuition amount, each qualifying family pays a tuition level that is appropriate for their financial circumstances.
Variable Tuition is not a scholarship. It is a tuition model designed to support families who desire a Westminster education but may not be able to afford full tuition.
Variable Tuition is accessible to families based upon a qualified financial aid application, ensuring consistency, and confidentiality in how tuition levels are determined.
