• During the third marking period, they are responsible for tuition through the end of the third marking period plus a 10% penalty.
• During the fourth marking period, they are responsible for full year tuition with no penalty.

At Shalom Christian Academy we recognize that students have different academic needs and often learn at different speeds. Learning disabilities, attention issues and/or anxiety issues can be discouraging for students. Through our Student Support Services(SSS), Shalom seeks to provide support for students with mild disabilities who are mainstreamed into the rigorous academic curriculum in the general classroom. Shalom offers support services to students in grades PreK - 12. Students in this program function at average to above average levels and are diagnosed with mild disabilities in the areas of:

• Specific Learning Disability (SLD)
• ADHD
• Processing Deficits
• Generalized Anxiety Disorder
• High-functioning Autism

(See office staff for information on these programs.)                                       

Resource Room

•     Elementary (30-minute period)    $ 15.00
•     Middle/High School (50-minute period)    $ 20.50

Students who are released for work-study, Career Tech, apprenticeships, etc. will continue to pay full tuition. Charging full tuition ensures that these students continue to receive the benefits of academic instruction while gaining real-world, hands-on experience related to their field of study. Shalom continues to incur costs for providing facilities, faculty, support staff and resources. These remain consistent for all students whether they are learning on or off campus. Charging full tuition helps cover the administrative and overhead costs of maintaining student records, providing counseling services, and managing program logistics.
