Tuition & Fees

At Greenville Classical Academy (GCA), we are committed to providing a classical, Christian education that nurtures students academically, spiritually, and morally. GCA recognizes that each family’s financial circumstances are unique, and we strive to make this education accessible to as many families as possible.

GCA offers a Tuition Partnership Plan (TPP), a needs-based program designed to assist families who are committed to classical, Christian education. Our goal is to partner with families, ensuring both educational excellence and financial stewardship.

Other fees can include field trips, upper school retreat, student life, achievement testing, yearbook, materials fee, science lab fees, studio art fees, athletic fees, summer camps, K4 afternoon enrichment, or graduation fees. Parents are responsible for purchasing their children’s uniform clothing and supplies.

Please contact the school office at (864)329-9884 or email office@greenvilleclassical.com with any questions about tuition or fees.

Tuition Partnership Plan (TPP)

GCA is committed to making a classical, Christian education accessible to families from a wide range of financial situations. GCA does not offer automatic tuition discounts. Instead, the Tuition Partnership Plan (TPP) is entirely needs-based, helping families for whom classical, Christian education would otherwise be financially out of reach.

Families seeking TPP must first apply for the South Carolina Education Scholarship Trust Fund (ESTF). By doing so, families are committing to apply the full ESTF scholarship award toward tuition at GCA. ESTF denial does not disqualify a family from receiving TPP. ESTF approval does not guarantee your family will qualify for a TPP.

For more information regarding ESTF, please visit the SC ESTF Program Website.

TPP Approval

  • TPP award notifications are sent via email from the TPP Committee only after ESTF status is confirmed.
  • Any award will not be applied to your FACTS account until the TPP agreement is signed by the parent(s).
  • Part-time students in the upper school are not eligible for TPP.
 

Eligibility Requirement

Tuition Partnership Plans (TPP) will not be considered or granted unless the family has first applied for the South Carolina Education Scholarship Trust Fund (ESTF) and provided documentation of approval or denial.

Steps for Families Seeking TPP

  1. Apply for ESTF during the state application window.
  2. Submit ESTF award or denial documentation to GCA.
  3. Apply for TPP through FACTS Grant & Aid (The fee for this service is $40): https://online.factsmgt.com/aid
  4. Receive TPP award notification via email after ESTF status is confirmed.
