Due to generous donations, we are able to offer significantly lower tuition rates. However, please keep in mind that the true cost for the quality education provided by ACA is not monetarily covered by tuition and fees. Subsidized funding is provided through diligent fundraising and donations. If you have any questions please call the office of the Academy at 434.352.7373.

All new incoming families will be entered into our automatic draft program FACTS and will be asked to fill out a FACTS Financial Aid application for submission to the NCSF scholarship fund.
