Affording A St. Benedict Classical Academy Education

SBCA is proud of the investment each of our parents makes in a school whose mission they believe in. We understand that even though our Board of Trustees works hard to ensure our full tuition cost is reasonable and as close to the true cost of an SBCA education as possible, some families still benefit from additional support to bring our tuition within reach.

$770,000 is awarded annually to 40% of SBCA families.
