For families who pay tuition monthly, the consolidated fee will be split over three months and drafted in June, July, and August.

Affording a JA Education

Investing in your child’s education is one of the greatest gifts a parent can give. Need-based tuition assistance is available to qualified students who desire a Jackson Academy education. Jackson Academy awards tuition assistance to the extent that funds are available. Those who plan to apply for tuition assistance must be accepted or enrolled at Jackson Academy prior to making application. Students must be in good academic standing to be eligible for tuition assistance. Tuition assistance applications are due each year on February 15 for the following school year, and tuition assistance information is available from the Office of Admissions by emailing admission@jacksonacademy.org.

Jackson Academy is committed to protecting the privacy of its families; therefore, all information received by the school is held in the strictest confidence. Only the Tuition Assistance Committee has access to a family’s application materials. If tuition assistance is awarded, the Business Office, Accounts Receivable, would be made aware of the award.
