Tuition, Sponsorship & Scholarships
Tuition
Our goal at TOLCA is to provide affordable Christian education. Many parents are looking for a government school alternative due to the ungodly agendas being promoted. We have purposefully and prayerfully set our tuition rates. We also encourage sponsorships to help offset tuition costs.
Tuition and Fees for 2024-2025 Academic Year
Testing Fee: $100
Enrollment/Re-enrollment $50
Pace Charge $288
*This fee could be more based on amount of Paces completed
before the end of the academic year.
Tuition fees are based on a 9-month school year and are presented in monthly fees. The yearly tuition for the '24-'25 school year is $6750 . There is a 9 , 10 or 11 month payment plan available.
We do accept the NC Opportunity Scholarship.
School & Student Sponsorship
We now take the NC Opportunity Scholarship. In the past, we chose not to take it for one reason- we were concerned it could potentially give the government a say in our policies and procedures. We checked into this and were assured that is not the case. So we will be accepting the NC Opportunity Scholarship for the 2024-2025 school year.
We will keep in place the Student Sponsorships as well. So, we encourage all families to find business and individual student sponsors. What’s the difference?
Individual student sponsors might include grandparents, other relatives, close family friends, etc. These sponsors could be business owners but do not have to be. A student sponsor is willing to make either a one-time or monthly contribution towards a student’s tuition. The student sponsor also receives a statement of giving (depending on their sponsor's commitment). Since TOLCA is an educational ministry of His Image Ministries, which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, an individual should consult their tax professional to see if they can deduct their sponsorship as charitable giving.
A business sponsor can individually earmark their donation to a specific student, or they can be a general school sponsor. Some businesses so believe in what we are doing, they want to help the school by providing this unique educational opportunity. Therefore, they sow into TOLCA and not a specific student. They know their gifts help us provide all the extras. Just like with student sponsors, since TOLCA is part of a 501(c)(3) non-profit, the business should consult their tax professional to see if they can deduct their sponsorship as charitable giving.
You might be wondering what’s the incentive to the business owner? We give recognition to our business sponsors on various social media channels. Likewise, business sponsors also may request general marketing assistance (such as a new logo design, new business card design, specific marketing flyer, etc.) based on the amount of their donation. We create an assignment for students based on the marketing request and allow the business to choose their favorite design. This complimentary perk to business sponsors comes with two edits. Finally, we have a Tree of Life business sponsor memorial on the wall in the vestibule of His Image Ministries. Business sponsor names are engraved on the leaves and that recognition is there for any to see.
Whereas we cannot make connections between students and business sponsors, we are happy to connect with potential business sponsors and answer any particular questions they may have. We do not mind facilitating the solidification of the sponsorship; however, we cannot locate sponsors for each student. It is a great opportunity for students to make connections with businesses your family frequents. We find this works extremely well. Most businesses are quite willing to give financial assistance if they are asked.
Sponsorships are deducted from the tuition of each family so that their invoice reflects the amount remaining, which is then divided into the requested monthly payments. We can accept sponsorships at any time and make payment adjustments monthly. It is our desire to have our students blessed financially.
Business Recommendation
I'm pleased to recommend Tree of Life Christian Academy AND their students. Today it's even more important to have your children led in the right direction with a Godly curriculum like Tree of Life Christian Academy. One of the greatest things the Academy does, is bring out students that might be interested in business and let them "rub shoulders" with business men & women, from small to large Corporations in the County, plus the local Chamber of Commerce, etc. They get to view a real business in action, ask questions & see how it operates. At the same time they're viewing Capitalism in action. I wish I had this opportunity when I was their age. This is just one example, in addition to being a Christian School built around Biblical teaching. I give Tree of Life Christian Academy high praise on helping to instill
the right values to our younger generation.

Student Scholarships
We are excited to announce our TOLCA Scholarship Program. We have had some individuals and businesses desire to give to help students attend TOLCA. They have no particular student in mind but want to help offset student tuition. We would pool the funds donated for the Scholarship Fund and allow students to apply for it. Funds would be granted yearly and the scholarships divided equally among qualifying students.
