Tuition & Financial Aid

RAISING THE NEXT GENERATION OF BELIEVERS

A SPIRITUAL INVESTMENT

Excellence is worth it. An investment in education from the Christian perspective will impact generations eternally and give your student a foundational truth to discover their purpose and glorify God. Our educators strive for Christ-honoring excellence in every way, allowing students to know the world through a Biblical lens and see Christ’s glory in everything.

We recognize the sacrifice families make to choose a Medina Christian Academy education, and we never stop working to make private Christian education affordable. Our goal is to be your partner and assist you and your family on this journey. We offer a variety of financial assistance options. Payment plans and tuition assistance can be combined, and our tuition is based upon the grade level of the student. This scaled tuition allows us to be respectful of the financial sacrifice of our families, as well as meet students’ educational needs at each age and stage.

Your tuition and fees are an investment in both our students and our community that will have a Kingdom impact and pay dividends for years to come.

Apply for a Scholarship

While the EdChoice scholarship covers most of the cost of tuition, MCA recognizes the financial strain for families covering the tuition difference along with annual fees. Students can now apply for a scholarship to supplement these extra expenses. This is handled through a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO).

These scholarships are funded by the generosity of school community members to make Christian education possible. Awards are prioritized for students with demonstrated financial need, and award amounts vary.

Please note: The SGO application for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year will be open from January 7 through May 15, 2026.
