Tuition & Fees 2026-2027

• A required $525 Capital Fund Fee is due from each family enrolling their first child at the Academy in kindergarten through grade 12. This is a one-time payment.
• A $1,000 non-refundable deposit is due at the time of registration for all enrolling students in grades PK-12 and is applied to the student's account for the upcoming school year. If enrollment is cancelled in writing before May 1, the deposit is forfeited. If not cancelled in writing, parents are responsible for the full year’s tuition.
• Technology Fee: Students in Grades K-5 pay a $110 annual technology fee and Grades 6-12 pay $275. This fee covers access to the school’s wireless Internet and shared printers; access to subscription services, databases, and electronic resources through the library; access to a loaner laptop if service is required on a personal laptop for Grades 6-12 (up to two weeks only); and on-site Internet filtering.

• Tuition covers most field trips, with the exception of overnight trips, and participation on athletic teams including use of uniforms (swim team members purchase a swimsuit).
• Students in grades 6 through 12 purchase their textbooks via our online bookstore. School supply lists are posted in June.
• Students in grades 6 through 12 are required to have a laptop.

A $1,000 deposit for PK-Grade 12 is due with the signed contract and is applied to tuition and fees. All families are required to enroll in the FACTS tuition management system. Fredericksburg Academy offers three payment options for families:

1. Annual: The balance is due before June 30.
2. Semiannual: Payments are divided, with 60% due before June 30 and 40% before November 30. There is a $155 administration fee for this plan.
3. Monthly: Monthly payments begin in June (or upon enrollment if later than June) and continue through May. There is a $280 administrative fee for this plan.

The Tuition Insurance Plan protects a family's investment in tuition in the event of withdrawal, separation, or dismissal from the Academy. The Tuition Insurance Plan is required for all accounts except families that choose option one. A brochure about this program is available in the admission or business office.

Virginia families are able to use 529 Plans for private school tuition! There can be significant tax advantages to establishing and funding a 529 savings plan.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 contains a provision that allows families to use Virginia529 Plans to pay for expenses in tuition up to $$10,000 per year, per beneficiary at Fredericksburg Academy. The official 529 Plan website suggests that families who wish to use this benefit contact the Virginia529 Plan Office at 1-888-567-0540 or Virginia529.com to submit an inquiry through a form.

Fredericksburg Academy does not help in financial planning decisions, so we highly suggest contacting the Virginia529 Plan Office, as well as consulting your own personal financial planner to discuss how this may fit into your individual plan before making a final decision.

If you wish to take part in this program and utilize this option of the Virginia529 Plan, you do not need to notify Fredericksburg Academy. Checks written from the family, or from the plan on behalf of the family, should be made payable to "Fredericksburg Academy."
