Tuition & Financial Aid
Koinonia Christian Academy (KCA) does not receive funding from the government for the operation of the school and therefore we rely upon tuition and donations to meet the operating costs of the school. As you are considering KCA, should you have any questions please feel free to contact us to ensure you have all the necessary information to make an informed decision.
Tax Receipts
KCA provides a donation receipt, if applicable, for the portion of tuition paid above the calculated cost per pupil. Receipts are issued and distributed each spring to eligible families.
Registration Fees
New registration fees are $200 for 1st student and $100 for each additional child. Non-refundable.
Re-registration fees are $200 per family to be submitted with each re-registration form. Non-refundable. All re-registration payments received before March 12th will be deducted from your total tuition for the 2024-25 school year.
Payments received after April 30th will be charged an additional $50 late fee.
Tuition Fees
Tuition rates are typically set in late spring prior to the next school year. The approved tuition rates for 2023-24 school year are published below:
Transportation Assistance
Transportation via bus is available for most families for an additional annual cost. This is an optional service paid for each family that uses it. Please contact the school for further information.
Tuition Payments
Tuition fees are to be paid in advance, either in full (lump sum), or by 10-monthly installments via pre-authorized debit (preferred method), or monthly post-dated cheques and submitted within 15 days of the first day of school. All exceptions or alternative payment options must be pre-approved by the Principal.

Tuition Assistance
The Tuition Assistance Program has been established for parents who wish to have their children enrolled at KCA and do not have the means to pay the full tuition.

Applications from families will be considered by the Tuition Assistance Committee until funds are exhausted.
