Burlington Christian Academy

Tuition is intended to cover most of the operating costs of the school and it is the responsibility of the Board to manage the balance between reasonable tuition rates and meeting the fiscal needs of the school. BCA has a “Family based” tuition plan where the first child in the family pays the standard tuition rate and each subsequent child in the family pays a lower tuition. Rates for the next school year are generally set early in the calendar year and can be obtained by calling the school at (905) 639-7364.

Financial Assistance

In an effort to make Christian education available to all those who seek it, BCA has a Bursary program designed to help those families who would benefit from receiving financial assistance. The school has adopted a confidential and fair approach to providing bursaries through the use of an independent, third-party online financial service, FAST (Financial Aid for School Tuition). FAST will gather information from you and provide a recommendation to BCA as to the level of assistance that is appropriate in your circumstances. The recommendation from FAST is then reviewed by BCA’s Finance Office, which will decide on the amount of the bursary to be awarded based on available bursary funds.

Once you have submitted your completed registration package to the school, please click on the link below to begin your application process for financial assistance. There is a $25 (USD) fee associated with the application. The amount of your award will be sent to you within ten days of successful submission of all required documents. We trust you will experience the process to be confidential, thorough, fair and timely. If you have any questions, please contact the school’s Administrative Assistant, Mrs. Teri Hayward, at office@onlyatbccs.com
