Affording an education at Hunter Classical Christian School

Choosing your child’s school is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent.  We believe Hunter Classical Christian School is the highest value among local private school options.  We invite you to consider all the available financial strategies, and you may find that Hunter is more affordable than you thought.  

Hunter strives to be a financially inclusive community, reflecting the Christ-centered nature of our mission. It is our belief that each family should bear the primary responsibility for financing their children’s educational costs to the extent that they are able. We encourage families that are concerned about their ability to afford a private education to apply for tuition assistance. 

More than one child?

Hunter is dedicated to affordability for our families, and offers tuition discounts when multiple children are enrolled.  We offer a sibling discount for families with multiple children attending HCCS.

Virginia Education Improvement Scholarships Tax Credit Program

Hunter participates in the Education Improvement Scholarship Act program. This program funds scholarships to qualified children who enter Hunter in kindergarten, first grade, or who transfer from a public school. You might be eligible for this scholarship.

To apply for Tuition Assistance Plan (TAP), Hunter uses the services of FACTS Grants and Aid Assessment to process tuition assistance applications and determine eligibility and award amounts. This online FACTS application link is accessed through the Tuition and Fees page located in the Admissions/Tuition and Fees section of the Hunter website. There is a $35 per family fee to apply for assistance. The Tuition Assistance Committee offers awards on the basis of the FACTS recommendation which includes a comprehensive application, as well as review of paystubs and most recent tax information.

Financial need is defined as the difference between your family’s resources and the cost of tuition. Hunter may meet a portion, but not necessarily all, of that need with its available resources. Families must reapply for assistance annually.

The online application will open on November 1, 2025. Income and expenses reported in the application must be current regardless of tax data for the previous tax year. New families should apply for assistance before their child is assessed for admission.

Contact the admissions office at admissions@hunterclassicalchristian.org to request an application.

Financing Tips

Providing a private education is also one of the most expensive, requiring planning and sacrifice. You need a strategy.

Make a sustainable plan. You need a plan that not only works in kindergarten but for the foreseeable future.

Adjust your standard of living. Chances are that tuition can rival a new car payment, a mortgage, or an expensive vacation. Adjust your expectations realistically.

Open a VA-529. You can now pay for your child’s k-12 education with pre-tax dollars. The savings can be hundreds of dollars, which over time, make tuition more affordable.  Our Business Office can show you how.

Compare apples to apples when evaluating costs. Many schools have multiple fees that make them more expensive than they first appear. We believe in tuition transparency. View our tuition schedule with all fees here.
