Payment

Invoices contain a link to pay online however payment may also be made to the Academy via check or cash. Since CCA is a ministry of the church, checks should made out to Shepherd of the Hills Calvary Chapel.

*If a family is experiencing financial hardship and is unable to pay their tuition on time, please contact the admissions office prior to the due date. The Academy has financial resources to help those in need.

Financial Aid

It is our desire that ability to pay tuition not be the sole reason a student does not attend. In some cases, financial aid may be available for low-income families. Ask the admissions counselor to see whether you qualify.
