Tuition
Preschool
Tuition is based on a 12-month school year. It reflects all school closures and holidays. Tuition amounts are based on the number of days attended and is either half day (7:30am-12:30pm) or full day (7:30am-5:30pm). Pre-registration for current VCA families takes place in January for the following school year, and requires a registration fee to hold your child’s placement.
K-8th Grade
Tuition is based on our 9-month school year, and is broken into ten installments from August to May. It reflects all school holidays and closures. Pre-registration for current families takes place in February for the following school year and requires a registration fee of $175 to hold your child’s placement.
FACTS Tuition Management
Veritas Christian Academy uses FACTS Tuition Management company to process tuition payments. There are several auto-payment options available through FACTS as well as the option to pay with a credit card. Current families can access their tuition accounts through the link below:
Financial Assistance
Veritas Christian Academy’s financial aid program is funded from various sources, including the generosity of our community and other individual/organizations who wish to support our families.
In order for us to allocate financial assistance resources wisely and fairly, we have enlisted the help of FACTS Tuition Management Company. FACTS does not decide whether financial assistance will be given or how much to give. Instead, FACTS provides a needs-based financial aid analysis, which includes recommendations on what a family should reasonably contribute toward tuition. Applications are submitted directly to FACTS through a FACTS Tuition Management profile created by the parents. All information administered by FACTS is kept confidential. Results are reviewed by the VCA Finance Department, who then make recommendations to the VCA Administration Team based on the following year’s budget. Upon approval by the VCA Administration Team, financial aid offers are then sent to families.
How to Apply for Financial Aid

BASIC Fund Scholarships
The BASIC Fund (Bay Area Scholarships for Inner-City Children) is a privately-funded program whose mission is to help low-income families afford tuition at private schools in the Bay Area. The program is available to students entering Kindergarten through eighth grade to attend private schools in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma Counties. BASIC Fund scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial need, and the child must be entering private school for the first time. BASIC scholarships are not guaranteed and Veritas Christian Academy has no bearing on the decision process. To get the link to the BASIC Fund application, please schedule a tour with the school administrator, complete and submit an admissions packet and then email the Administrative Team. The application process begins in December of every year.
Other Financial Assistance
Community Resources for Children is a state program that, among other things, helps families subsidize their childcare needs. For more information about CRC, please call 707-253-0376. If your child’s tuition is subsidized by CRC, you are responsible to complete your child’s sign-in forms by the end of each month. If your child’s sign-in sheet is not complete, your child may not return to school until all forms are complete and you may be held responsible for that month’s tuition. Parents are responsible for covering any fees, expenses or portions thereof not paid by CRC.
