Tuition

It is a passion of Coastline Christian Academy to provide affordable Christian education for Santa Barbara county. 

We are able to sustain a relatively low tuition rate due to generous donors, fundraisers, and ownership of our property. Our Corporation, which is composed of parents, guardians, staff, and board members, vote each year on the budget, carefully balancing the expense of running the school with the tuition rates.

In addition, our school provides a variety of tuition rate reduction programs.  This includes sibling discounts, financial aid, scholarships, and pastoral discounts for those who qualify. Submit an inquiry to learn more.

Financial Aid

Scholarship

It is the intent of our financial aid process to be fair to all families and to be done with a good faith effort on the part of all who apply.

1. The “Confidential Application for Financial Aid” must be completely filled out before the application will be considered, unless the Board approves otherwise.

2. The application will be reviewed by the principal of Coastline Christian Academy and two members of the Business/Financial Committee.

3. To maintain confidentiality, an anonymous recommendation for financial aid will be given to the Chairman of the Board by the principal after the committee meets so that it can be voted upon at the next board meeting.

4. The applicant(s) will be sent a formal letter of acceptance/rejection of financial aid by the principal within seven days of the vote.

5. Financial aid is granted for one school year at a time.

Up to two full scholarships or four half scholarships are available from a long-time charitable partner of Coastline Christian Academy called The Luke 12:48 Foundation.  Families in need of financial support may apply for a scholarship.  Scholarships are awarded on a year-by-year basis and applied to the current school year.  Scholarships awarded replace financial aid awarded by Coastline Christian Academy.  

To apply:

1. Demonstrate financial need by submitting a completed Financial Aid Application. Please request an application from Kris Severson at principal@coastlinechristianacademy.com.

2. Write a short essay on the following topic: “What have you done with the talents that God has given you to advance God’s kingdom on earth?”
