Tuition can be a big financial sacrifice for many families. Our goal is to keep our tuition rates as affordable as possible while also remaining financially stable as a school.
Our tuition rates generally cover our staffing costs; fundraising and donations cover the balance of our operating expenses. We ask families to help in our fundraising efforts.
Our fees are based on family rates. There is a base price for one student and discounted fees for additional children from the same family. Tuition is reviewed annually.
The fee is normally paid with post-dated cheques, dated for the first of each month, or with automatic monthly bank withdrawals.
Part of the tuition may be eligible for a tax receipt.
Tuition rates are available upon request to the Admissions Office.
The local student fee to apply to Maranatha is $100 per family.
Those who enroll their children for the first time at Maranatha Christian Academy pay a non-refundable deposit at the time of enrollment. This deposit secures the student’s spot and will be applied to tuition fees due for the coming year.
We welcome new students into our high school at the beginning of a school year or at the beginning of a semester.
