Financial Aid
Since its founding, ALCA has remained committed to making a quality Christian education accessible to as many families as possible. Our goal is to collaborate with families in shaping students for a life of service to God. While the primary responsibility for educational costs rests with each family, we support this mission by maintaining competitive tuition rates and providing financial aid to those in need.
