Tuition & Affordability
Choosing a private education is a significant investment, and for many families, affordability is an important part of the decision. If you are seeking an educational environment of excellence that supports your child's growth through a biblical worldview and believe Caldwell may be the right fit for your family, we encourage you to explore tuition assistance options.
We do not want finances to be the obstacle that prevents a family from pursuing a Caldwell education. Need-based tuition assistance is available to help make this opportunity more accessible to mission-aligned families. Applications are reviewed with care and complete confidentiality by a small Tuition Assistance Committee, and awards are granted as a percentage of tuition. Please note that Caldwell Academy does not currently offer sibling discounts.
We encourage all families to apply for the North Carolina Opportunity Scholarship.Apply for Opportunity Scholarship
