Affording LCA
Enrolling your child in a private school is the single most important decision you will make for his or her education, and we understand the financial implications of doing so.
That is why Liberty Christian Academy is pleased to offer discounts and tuition assistance to qualifying families. We believe if God has placed in your heart the desire for a Christian education for your child, it is our job to help make that desire a reality. We can do so because of the unbelievable generosity of our partners and donors who see the benefit of a Biblical worldview gained through Christian education and want to partner with us to make tuition at LCA affordable.
Committing to LCA is a long-term investment in your child’s educational and spiritual development, from kindergarten through graduation. While we stand ready and willing to assist qualifying families, we also expect you to exercise good stewardship and conscientiously pursue other means of paying tuition, such as additional employment, savings or Virginia 529 utilization, help from extended family members, reduction in non-essential expenses, etc., before asking the school for assistance.
A 529 plan is a tax-advantaged savings plan originally designed to help families pay for college. The main advantage of a typical 529 plan, over a normal savings or investment account, is that the earnings are not subject to federal tax and are typically not subject to state tax, as long as the funds are used for qualified education expenses. Funds from a 529 plan can now be used for elementary or secondary public, private, or religious school tuition. While this is a great new benefit, it may require individuals to revisit their investment strategy with their financial advisor. This information is provided for informational purposes only, and we ask that you seek the advice of your tax professional prior to making any decisions concerning 529 plans.
