Financial

The first month’s tuition for each Elementary student is to be paid on or before July 1. The first month’s tuition for each Secondary student is to be paid on or before August 1. Tuition is considered late if not paid in full by the 10th of every month.

A portion of the tuition is for the rental of textbooks. However, this does not cover the mistreatment of a book. If the principal determines that a book must be replaced because of abuse it will be replaced at the user’s expense.

No student will be admitted without prior payment of the first month’s tuition.

Financial questions can be emailed to treasurer@bigcovesda.net.

Elementary Tuition

Scholarships equivalent to a 10% reduction in tuition per student are provided to assist families with multiple children from the same household in covering the increased cost of education. There is no discount for preschool students.

Two different payment plans are offered as options:

Monthly tuition rates are shown in the following table, including scholarships for additional children from a single family. Monthly tuition includes all registration fees, field trip costs, and a yearbook. There is no additional cost for any of the above items.

Secondary Tuition

BCCA secondary tuition covers our Atlanta Adventist Academy partner charges, the local secondary classroom facilitator and all technology support costs. A yearly registration fee is also applied.

Secondary tuition is on a 10-month plan that divides the year’s tuition into ten equal payments. The first tuition payment and the yearly registration fee are due on August 1. The remaining tuition payments are due and payable by the first of each month for the following nine months.

Secondary scholarships may be available from our secondary partner, affecting the monthly tuition paid through BCCA. The amount of these scholarships may not be known until the beginning of the secondary school year. Contact the School Treasurer for detailed information (treasurer@bigcovesda.net).

Members of Huntsville Central SDA Church may receive a scholarship of up to 27% due to funds the members of the church give to the school to supplement tuition for church members.

Members of other Gulf States Conference of Seventh-day Adventist churches may receive a 10% scholarship from the conference.

Partnering for Eternity (PFE) provides a scholarship of up to $120 per month for each participating student, who will partner with an eligible community member and visit with them once a week for one hour. More details can be found at https://sffcfoundation.org/pfe. To apply, please contact Mandy Gennick, m.gennick@bigcovesda.net.

BCCA is an approved CHOOSE Act Provider. Families may be eligible for tuition assistance through Alabama’s CHOOSE Act. This program assists in covering the expenses of private Christian education for qualified students. As an approved provider, BCCA can collaborate directly with families to facilitate their access to these funds and guide them through the application process. Contact the school treasurer for help in applying and using the CHOOSE Act.

Applications for inclusion in the Alabama CHOOSE Act commence in January for new families. Further information can be accessed at https://classwallet.com/alchoose/.

If the full amount of tuition and all fees is not paid by the last weekday of the month in which it is due, the student will not be allowed to attend classes and will be required to withdraw from school. Reinstatement will be contingent on payment of all past-due amounts in full and re-admission approval by the School Board.

The final tuition payment for the year and all other charges and fees must be paid no later than May 10. If the full amount is not paid, the student will not be able to complete the school year or participate in the graduation program if applicable. No final report card, transcripts, or other student records will be released until the student’s account is paid in full.

If you have any questions, please call (256) 518-9642 or email the principal at principal@bigcovesda.net.
