At the Academy of Christian Leadership, we offer income adjusted tuition so that no family is denied a Christian education for their child because of money.  How do we do this?  The answer lies in God's mercy and blessings.  Each year He provides all that we need in donations and dedicated parent volunteers, and we are continually thankful.

For those specially blessed with financial resources, full tuition at ACL is extremely competitive with other private schools in both Columbia County and the Capital Region.  Our annual tuition of $7,500 may be paid through several different plans, including pre-payment with a 5% discount.

Parents applying for income adjusted tuition submit their financial aid determination information at the website for FAST.    
You will need to send a copy of your most recent tax returns to FAST.  All determinations are based on full household income as well as the income of non-resident parents.  After the information is processed, a meeting is held with the parents to review the results and make a final tuition plan.

In any given year, about three quarters of our parents receive some level of discount based on income.  With that said, we do ask parents who have other means, such as contributions from the student's grandparents, to make every effort to maximize what they pay.  We see our school as a ministry - a very important ministry to the future success and happiness of our students.  We also ask that once parents make a commitment, they follow through on their obligations, setting a proper Christian example for their children (Leviticus 19:13).

Details regarding the Tuition Policy and Application Fees are included in our information packet.  Please contact us to get a packet mailed to you today.


And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus.  And great grace was upon them all.  Nor was there anyone among them who lacked... and they distributed to each as anyone had need.
