Christian Education is more affordable than you think!
90% of our FLA families receive scholarships!

At Family Life Academy we work hard to keep our tuition affordable. However, in these tough economic times, we understand that choosing to put your child in a private school can come down to a financial decision. There are many different School Tuition Organizations (STO’s) that award scholarships to children in private schools. Below is a list of these STO’s that students at Family Life Academy have received scholarships. Thank you for considering Family Life Academy and please do not hesitate to contact Diane Yeager or Michele Aguilar at 520-296-8989 with any questions.
