Q: What ages do you accept?

A: For our founding school year, we are welcoming our initial foundational classes (starting with Early Years / Sprouts), with intentional, grade-by-grade expansion building up to High School.

Q: How many students are in a class?

A: To provide a premium, highly attentive educational environment, we intentionally maintain small class sizes across all of our active classrooms. As we expand grade levels, this small-group model remains the heart of our academy to ensure personalized pacing and true mentorship.

Q: What are your operational hours and calendar?

A: We offer extended operational hours Monday through Friday from 6:30 AM to 4:00 PM to accommodate working families. Our core academic and instructional school day runs from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM."

Q: What is the school calendar?

A: Our academic year runs from August through May, spanning 40 weeks of active instruction. A detailed calendar featuring seasonal themes and holiday dates will be provided to enrolled families and can be viewed on our Student Life page.

Q: What is your curriculum style?

A: Our teachings are deeply anchored in the infallible Word of God... Across our active classes—with future grade levels opening as we expand—our students practice living out our core ROOTS values (Reverence, Obedience, Outstanding Character, Tenacity, and Service) tailored to their developmental stage.

Q: How is faith integrated into the daily environment?

A: Our teachings are deeply anchored in the infallible Word of God, focusing on character, love for Christ, and nurturing a personal relationship with God. As an independent academy, we weave faith into daily campus life through systematic Scripture study, memory work, prayer, worship, and biblical worldview integration.

Across all divisions—from Pre-K through high school—our students practice living out our core ROOTS values (Reverence, Obedience, Outstanding Character, Tenacity, and Service) tailored to their developmental stage.

Q: What is the tuition rate and when is it due?

A: Weekly tuition is $160.00 per student. To maintain smooth daily operations, tuition is due every Monday morning for the current week of instruction.

Q: Are there additional fees I should prepare for?

A: Upon official acceptance into the academy, a one-time, non-refundable registration fee of $240.00 is required to officially lock in and secure your child's seat. Additionally, a $25.00 late fee is automatically applied to accounts if weekly tuition is not received by Monday evening at 6:00 PM."

Q: Do I have to pay tuition during holiday school closures?

A: No. We deeply value family time during major holidays. We are completely closed for four (4) specific weeks during the academic year (Thanksgiving Break, 2 weeks for Christmas/Winter Break, and Spring Break), and families are not charged tuition during these designated closures.

Q: What happens if my child is absent due to illness or family vacation?

A: Because our fixed operational expenses (such as high-quality educational materials, facility provisions, and teacher planning) remain entirely constant, weekly tuition is required for all weeks the academy is actively open, regardless of student attendance. Continuing your standard weekly payments ensures that your child's placement in their class remains completely secure and maintains continuous enrollment.

Q: Does my child need to be fully potty trained to attend?

A: Potty independence is required for our Early Years (Sprouts) division. Students entering Pre-K must be fully potty trained (independent in the restroom and wearing standard underwear) prior to their first day of school.

Q: Are meals and snacks provided?

A: Yes! Rooted In Christ Academy provides nutritious daily breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks for all enrolled students. If your child has specific dietary allergies or restrictions, families are welcome to partner with us to ensure their dietary needs are safely met.

Q: Does the academy require uniforms?

A: Yes! To foster a sense of community, eliminate morning dressing distractions, and prepare our minds for learning, Rooted In Christ Academy utilizes a simple, classic uniform policy. Our official colors are Forest Green and Earth Brown.

Q: What specific uniform items should I purchase?

A: Families can mix and match standard polo shirts and bottoms within our color palette:

Tops: Solid forest green polo shirts, white polo shirts

Bottoms: Solid brown pants, shorts, skirts, or skorts (khaki-style brown).
