Center City Girls Academy
A private, values-based, not-for-profit, all-girls high school
Private schools operate on tuition, grants and donations. In order to provide a quality high school education, CCGA will establish a reasonable tuition after carefully reviewing the tuition at faith-based and private high schools located in and around the greater Philadelphia area. The non-refundable registration fee is the only additional fee.
Tuition is to be paid annually, bi-annually, quarterly or monthly. Tuition will be divided into equal payments based on the method of payments selected. Payments will be made through a third party (TBD).
Financial Aid and Expenses
All parents/guardians are required to complete the Financial Aid Form.
Financial aid will be recommended by an independent organization and based on the federal poverty guidelines.
Awards which are not need-based will be granted through CCGA. The criteria for those grants will be determined by the Governance Board and the Advisory Board. This website will provide the necessary information about applying for all — financial awards that are not need-based.
All monies provided to students through need-based and non-need-based sources will be applied monthly. Grants and scholarships are available through outside sources. This website will be providing information and links that may offer additional funding for students.
It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to apply for outside funding. Continuity of education is most important. Before failure to pay tuition becomes an issue, which could impact a student’s ability to remain in good standing, parents/guardians should contact the Head of School who will assist the parent/guardian in discussing this issue with the appropriate person.
Additional Costs to Expect:

Tuition will be refunded based on the date of withdrawal, time of withdrawal, and the amount of tuition paid up to that date.
No grant or scholarship monies are ever refunded since tuition is reduced based on application of those funds. CCGA does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, disability, or religion in the administration of educational policies, programs, or financial aid.
