Tuition

Monthly tuition rates are as follows:     K3 - K5 and ABC's: (If half day program) : $100 per month                 Rates for full-day program tuition, and Levels 1 through 12 are as follows:                               1 child=$150           2 children=$290          3 children=$420  Tuition fees are spread over a ten month period (August through May). Fees are to be paid by the tenth of each month. After the tenth of the month, a late payment fee of $15.00 maybe added to accounts with unpaid balances. Students whose accounts are more than 30 days past due will be suspended from classes until a satisfactory agreement is reached with the business office. A $25.00 returned check fee will be added to accounts if a check is returned for insufficient funds. After two returned checks, payments must be made on a cash or money order basis only.    The enrollment fee, re-enrollment fee, curriculum fee, and tuition payments are non-refundable.    The enrollment fee of $125.00 is a one time charge that covers the testing, application, and set-up fees for a new student.

Re-enrollment

Students re-enrolling must complete a re-enrollment form each year in order to hold a space. A $25.00 re-enrollment fee and a $25.00 tuition deposit fee (which will be deducted from the first months tuition) will also be required at this time. The school reserves the right to refuse re-enrollment to students or students of families who have demonstrated disharmony regarding the purpose, objectives, standards, policies, rules, and regulations of the school.  In addition, no student may be re-admitted unless all financial obligations for tuition, curriculum, etc., have been met from the previous school year.

Chapel

There will be a chapel service once a week. All students and staff are required to attend.    Since NCA is a ministry of the First Church of the Nazarene, we are under the direct supervision of the pastor and church officers and are subject to the values and moral standards of the church.

Exemption K Status

Our school is licensed to operate under Exemption K status with the West Virginia State Board of Education.   Upon completion of our standardized tests, the scores are sent to the State Board of Education in Charleston.  Our school's over-all scores are then reviewed.  The state office notifies the school of the status of the acceptance of our scores by mail.  Should our scores be below the required percentile, we would be placed on probation and be required to have a written plan for improvement.  The Academy has had acceptable scores each year it had been in operation.

Many institutions take the position that their responsibility to the student does not go beyond academic work or "school hours".  We at Welch Nazarene Christian Academy do not take such a position.  We believe it is our responsibility to set full behavior standards for our students and will take a firm stand in doing so. Each student and his parents make the decision to attend WNCA.  Those who decide to do so thereby agree to accept the standards, principles, and requirements.  For us to pursue any other course would be to abandon the responsibility of a Christian school.  We appreciate the confidence shown in placing your children within our power to guide and teach them socially, academically, and spiritually.  We are humbled before God at our responsibility to them and to you.
