Available Tuition Discounts
Williamsburg Christian Academy realizes that tuition at our school can sometimes pose a financial burden on prospective and enrolled families. In order to help families offset the costs of tuition to hopefully bring their total costs into the scope of their budget, there are a number of ways that current families or new families to the school can save on annual tuition through available discounts, which are listed below:
Pastoral Family Discount: WCA desires to partner with churches and ministry organizations in our community. We offer a tuition discount for full-time Christian ordained ministers employed as a minister by a local ministry or church. The minister must be a parent or legal guardian of the student to qualify. The discount applies to tuition only; the minister must complete the Application for Christian Minister’s Discount to determine qualification.

Your family may qualify for multiple discounts; however, combined discounts may not exceed 25% of your student’s total tuition costs. All discounts apply to tuition only. If at any time, your student withdraws from WCA before completing the school year, these discounts are subject to revocation and will be charged back to your student’s tuition account.
