WAYS TO SAVE

YES, IT'S WORTH IT

  • We have multiple ways to help families save money at Freeman Academy.
  • As a school we provide credits for siblings, paying tuition upfront, and more.
  • Local businesses and national retailers pitch in through Raise Right.
  • It all adds up. Find out what fits your family below.

New students receive this discount when the application process is completed by
July 1.

Families receive a $500 credit for each additional sibling attending Freeman Academy.

For example, a family with three children would receive a $1,000 credit.

Families who pay all their tuition by 
August 15 receive 2% credit toward their tuition total for all students.

As an independent school, Freeman Academy greatly values parents supporting our caring community through volunteering.

Parents who volunteer 90 hours receive a $450 parent volunteer credit for one child. Additional family members can volunteer with administrative approval.
