Paying for a Christian education is a worthwhile sacrifice: it is an investment in the spiritual foundation and academic education of your child. We know that your desire for your child to have a Christian education has nothing to do with your level of income, but has everything to do with your faith, values, and priorities. Because of that, we strive to make a Christian education affordable and available to all families by offering various payment plans (monthly, by semester, by year), need-based tuition assistance, and discounts. Currently, 1/3 of our student body receive tuition assistance.

- Paying in full. Payment is processed through FACTS and is due by July 1, 2024.

FACTS
All students’ families are required to set up and use a personal, secure online portal that provides access to all student information, including grades, and is the mechanism by which all tuition and fees must be paid. River Oak Christian Academy has contracted with FACTS for the service. FACTS charges an annual administration fee of $25 for families who pay tuition and fees on an annual or semester basis; the annual fee is $55 for families paying monthly. When setting up your family’s portal, you will specify what payment frequency and the method you wish to use.

In 2018, tuition for private, public, and religious elementary and secondary schools was added to the list of qualified MOST 529 expenses allowing participants to withdraw up to $10,000 per year from their MOST 529 account tax-free to pay for K-12 tuition.
Parents choosing to use a MOST 529 Plan allow them a state income tax deduction for money contributed to the account.
