A Christian education is the best investment you can make

Tuition at Temple Academy is a superior value when compared to any school in our area.

These are challenging times in which to raise a family, and a genuinely Christian education is more essential than ever before. We are working daily to deliver the best to our families and commit ourselves to increasing our value.

Tuition is automatically drafted according to the terms of your chosen tuition payment plan in FACTS Family Portal. If you select a monthly payment plan, tuition will be drafted on the 5th of the month. If you choose a semi-monthly plan, tuition will be drafted on the 5th and 20th of each month.

Financial assistance

Temple Academy has limited funds available for financial aid, yet it is our desire to make a Christ-centered, academically excellent education available to as many families as possible each school year. Financial aid is awarded based on demonstrated need and is assessed through an independent third-party program, FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment.

Students approved for and receiving Tennessee Education Freedom Scholarships are not eligible for additional discounts or financial aid.

The principles below are followed in the financial aid process:

Financial aid is awarded on a demonstrated need, first-come, first-served basis.
Financial aid awards will not be granted until your child has been accepted as a student by Temple Academy.
The financial aid process is confidential.
Financial aid awards will be made without regard to race, color, nationality, or ethnic origin.
Awards must be renewed each year based on current financial need, by the school board using the FACTS recommendation, as well as student scholarship and behavior evaluation data.
Financial Aid applications for the upcoming school year must be submitted (including all required documents) by returning families no later than May 15 to receive consideration.
A campus tour, interview, application for enrollment, and acceptance must be completed before a family can apply for financial aid.
The pro-rated remainder of a grant may be suspended or withdrawn if a student fails to maintain a passing grade point average or consistently engages in disobedient or disruptive behavior.
The Academy desires to help all families but is not obligated to extend a financial aid grant to any family.
Financial aid is offered on a year-by-year basis and must be applied for each year.

Prospective families should apply for financial assistance when they apply for admission. Current families may apply for financial assistance beginning on January 1. The deadline to apply for current families is May 15.

The following items must be submitted to FACTS to complete the application process:

Copies of your two most recent Federal tax forms including supporting tax schedules (Schedule 1, Schedule 3).
Dependent statement if claiming more than 4 dependents.
Copies of your most recent W-2 forms for both you and your spouse.
Copies of supporting documentation for household nontaxable income.

You may begin the FACTS financial assistance application process and submit the above items once your Federal tax returns are completed.

Financial aid awards will be communicated to families in writing and by secure email by July 1.
