Tuition & Financial Aid

There’s no better investment than your child’s education. 

More than 15,000 hours of your child’s life will be spent in school. The question isn’t whether to invest—it’s where.

Maranatha tuition is designed to sustain something every parent desires: smaller class sizes, teachers who feel called to their work, and a campus culture where your child is known, challenged, and formed in faith. We work hard to keep a Maranatha education within reach for as many families as possible without compromising the quality of what we offer. If tuition feels like a barrier, reach out. We’ll have an honest conversation about what’s possible.

Investing in a Maranatha education is investing in who your child is becoming — not just what they'll achieve. We're committed to forming students who are loved by Christ above and equipped for life beyond: rooted in faith, prepared for college, and ready to lead with character in whatever comes next.

Plan Your Investment

Need-based financial aid is available to qualifying K–12 on-campus families. For families who qualify, awards contribute 10–50% toward published tuition, with a maximum award of 50%. Use our Tuition Estimator to explore potential financial aid based on household income range and number of children.

Financial Aid

Helping make a Maranatha education accessible for your family.

We desire to partner with families who share the values and mission of Maranatha Christian Academy. Through our need-based Financial Aid program, we offer financial aid for qualifying students in Kindergarten through Grade 12 (on-campus students only). Financial Aid is determined based on a confidential 3rd party application that assesses your family’s income, expenses, and assets.

Financial aid is awarded annually for one school year. Families that are awarded financial aid are asked to give back to Maranatha through volunteering. Financial aid is an annual application process and awards are not automatically renewed or guaranteed, as available funds and a family's financial situation can change from year to year. The maximum financial aid award given is 50% of the published tuition rate for grades K-12. See the FAQ section below for additional information.
