FUNDING A DOMINION EDUCATION

Tuition Assistance.  Concerned about funding a high-quality classical Christian education for your children?  We don't want families to base an important decision about schooling on finances, so Dominion offers a sliding-scale tuition assistance program.  Subject to the availability of funds, need-based financial aid is available to families who cannot comfortably afford full tuition.  Much like college financial aid, our program is based on a sliding scale with a broad income level range. For more information, or to apply for tuition assistance, please visit our tuition assistance page.   

529 Plans.  Additionally, in many cases, the federal government allows for up to $10,000 in tax-free payments from 529 plans for expenses for private K-12 education.  We recommend checking with your financial advisor for more information.

Multiple children. While Dominion does not offer a multi-child discount, our need-based tuition assistance program considers the size of your family, the number of children in private school, and the number of children in college.  We encourage families with multiple children to apply for tuition assistance so we can help make a Dominion education more comfortably attainable.

2025-2026 RATES OF TUITION

For families who do not receive tuition assistance, rates of tuition are as follows:

        Tuition for half-day K   //   2025-2026: $12,780   (2024-2025: $12,300)

        Tuition for Grades K-6   //   2025-2026: $16,840   (2024-2025: $16,224)

2025-2026 STUDENT ACTIVITY FEES

Dominion charges an annual student activity fee instead of asking for funds throughout the year to cover classroom needs, field trips, overnight trips, and other incidental expenses.  Paid annually or monthly, the fee covers all of the core expenses you will be expected to pay while your child is enrolled in Dominion with two exceptions: optional activities, optional offerings (school lunches, electives, spirit wear, fundraiser lunch, etc.), or the junior/senior class trip to Europe.  Otherwise, you may expect that all of your expenses will be covered by tuition and fees.  For 2025-2026, the fees are as follows:

*Important: In academic years with a spring semester that occurs on an even year (2025-2026, 2027-2028, etc.), our juniors and seniors travel abroad instead of participating in a domestic trip.  International travel is funded directly by families rather than through student activity fees.  Since there will be no junior/senior domestic trip during these years, the junior/senior fees will be reduced whenever international travel is scheduled to occur).

2025-2026 TUITION INSURANCE

Tuition insurance (3.0% of full annual tuition) is due May 15* and is mandatory unless tuition is paid in full by this date. If a family pays annually and elects not to participate in the Tuition Insurance plan, the family will remain obligated to pay full-year fees and tuition in case of withdrawal or dismissal from Dominion.

LEGACY FEE (One-Time)

Dominion relies upon private revenues not only for operation, but also for future growth, expansion, and improvement of our programs, facilities, and student offerings.  Tuition and our annual fund gifts cover today's expenses.  We also charge a one-time fee to all new families at Dominion that helps us create a stronger Dominion for tomorrow.  The cost is $975 and is billable in May, semi-annually, or monthly, depending upon a family's chosen payment plan.

TRANSPORTATION/SHUTTLE FEE (Optional)

Dominion provides a daily shuttle from the South Campus to the North Campus (mornings) or from the North Campus to the South Campus (afternoons).  The shuttle is optional and available on a first-come, first-served basis at a rate of $1,250 per route or at a discounted rate of $2,000 for both routes.  (Sorry, no periodic or partial-year use is available).

2025-2026 EDUCATIONAL THERAPY FEES (Optional, South Campus)
