Tuition & Fees
A Sunlight education, within reach.
SCA charges an annual tuition broken down into the affordable payment plan of your choice: Pay in Full, Monthly, or Bi-Weekly. The fees you see below are based on an entire school year. To determine your payment amount, combine the annual tuition and installment fee, then divide by 10 for monthly plans or by 20 for bi-weekly plans. Annual tuition and program fees for students admitted mid-year will be prorated.
Every Family Qualifies
Florida now awards a scholarship to every family — a private-school education is within reach for all.
Scholarships apply directly to tuition, reducing your cost by the full award amount. Combined with our family discounts, most Sunlight families pay around $6,000 per student per year.
