Tuition and Financial Aid

Christian Education May Be More Affordable Than You Think

At West Shore Christian Academy, we believe families should not have to choose between a strong education and a Christ-centered environment. Through tuition assistance and Pennsylvania tax credit scholarships, many families receive significant financial aid each year.
 
Across the Christian School Association of Greater Harrisburg (CSAGH), which includes West Shore Christian Academy and Harrisburg Christian School, millions of dollars in financial aid are awarded annually.
 

Many families who now attend WSCA initially assumed a Christian education would not be affordable. We encourage every interested family to explore their options.

The WSCA Value is Unmatched

At WSCA, students receive an education that equips them for life. This includes:
 
  • Tuition within the lower third of comparable schools, paired with generous financial aid, makes us surprisingly affordable.

  • Rigorous courses of study that prepare students to be critical thinkers, bold leaders, and skilled communicators.

  • Extracurricular opportunities in the Arts, Athletics, and Christian Service.

  • Preparation for college success and careers.

  • Highly qualified faculty and staff who invest in students' lives and provide role models for the Christian life, as well as individualized attention to help students succeed academically.

  • Opportunities for students to grow spiritually and academically in a Christ-centered community.

How Financial Aid Works

West Shore Christian Academy provides financial aid through a combination of:

  • Pennsylvania EITC, OSTC, and EDS scholarships

Our goal is to make a Christ-centered education accessible for families God calls to WSCA. Whenever possible, we strive to meet 100% of a family’s demonstrated financial need.

Financial aid eligibility is determined through FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment, a secure third-party system that evaluates each family's financial situation.
