CBA: Where Educational Excellence i
At Charleston Bilingual Academy, we believe that a high-quality education should be accessible to all families, regardless of their financial situation. Our commitment to providing an exceptional learning environment is reflected in our tuition rates.
Our current tuition prices are significantly subsidized due to donations, rent from FBC and HABC well below market value, and due to all employees receiving around 67% of public school compensation. The real cost for 5 day programs would increase an extra $1,750 for preschool, $3,000 for Kinder, $4,500 for elementary, and $6,200 for middle school. And these subsidies do not include the countless volunteer hours. Ultimately, tuition is not a transaction. Both the school and parents are sacrificing to form this partnership as we inspire world changers who will have eternal, immeasurable impact.
Why Us and How we compare?
At Charleston Bilingual Academy, we desire to provide an exceptional value for your investment: Due to our subsidies, our tuition fees are significantly lower than our competitors. The below graph shows how CBA is the fraction of the cost of other options in the Charleston Area.
As a reminder, your investment includes:
Holistic Education with a Christ-Centered Foundation: Our curriculum is rooted in strong Biblical truths and Christ-centered values, ensuring that students not only excel academically but also grow spiritually and ethically. We believe in nurturing the whole child, integrating faith with learning to instill a sense of purpose and community.
Multicultural Immersion: Unlike most other private schools, we provide a unique bilingual and multicultural education. Our immersion program fosters linguistic proficiency in both English and Spanish languages, while also offering Mandarin programs. We uniquely celebrate diverse cultures. This approach prepares students to thrive in a global society, enhancing their cognitive abilities and cultural awareness from an early age so that they are better prepared to radically serve others in the world around them.
Innovative Project-Based Learning: Our project-based learning model encourages students to engage deeply with subjects through hands-on projects that integrate real-world problems and solutions. This method not only makes learning more engaging but also helps students develop critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. Our students are then mobilized to apply REAL learning to serve REAL people with REAL problems..
Community and Support: Our school community is one of warmth and love. We are dedicated to creating an environment where every student feels valued and supported. Our small class sizes and dedicated staff ensure personalized attention and a nurturing educational experience. Our students KNOW their teachers sincerely care about them.
We are proud to offer an environment where academic excellence and spiritual growth go hand in hand, preparing students to be compassionate, competent, and globally-minded individuals.
When you join the CBA family, you join us in shaping the future for the world around us and join us in giving your child the best start in life. At CBA, exceptional value meets extraordinary opportunity. What we have here is truly a gift!
