A tax credit is even more valuable to families than a tax deduction! It’s a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the taxes you owe. Some credits are refundable—reducing taxes otherwise owed to zero and paying a refund.
NEW federal tax benefits:
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 enhanced the benefits of families with children and child care specifically. The details of the new benefits can be hard to understand, so we’re here to break it down.
Under current federal law, eligible families can claim 2021 child care tax credits up to the following maximum amounts:

The FCA will not require students to wear uniforms. Students will be expected to wear appropriate clothing and hairstyles. Part of educating children is to help them to learn how to make good choices. This applies to their appearance. We know that the Lord sees what is on the inside and isn’t overly concerned with outward appearances, 1 Sam 16:7, but we also want everything about us to draw people’s attention towards Him. Therefore, we want to help children learn that they dress for the Lord. If a student's appearance is distracting and draws extensive attention to the individual, they are not drawing attention to the Lord.
The question you would naturally ask yourself is, “Why should I pay for private tuition when I can send my child to school for free?” That is a valid thought. You should be able to send your child to public schools, but the real question has become, “Can you afford to?” As Joseph Badkhom states in his article, “Why Every Church Should Start A Christian School:”
Teaching children knowledge of the world without reference to God simply communicates that God is not necessary to accurately understand the world.
Over time, public schools moved away from representing a Biblical worldview. Public schools used to communicate that God was necessary and that there were absolute truths and there were things that were absolutely wrong. There are still many Godly teachers and administrators within the public school system, but you cannot depend on public school systems to promote a Christian perspective. They have become very humanistic in their instruction and worldview. They are now largely governed by people with political agendas who do not espouse a Biblical worldview.
This, unfortunately, is why private Christian schools have become so important today. Children desperately need to know that God is in control. God created the heavens and the Earth. God created man and woman. God is good and God is greater.
Children also need to know that Jesus is the answer for the world yesterday, today, and tomorrow. They need to understand that God still moves and works in our lives and in the lives of others through the Holy Spirit. This is why the investment of private school tuition pays eternal dividends.
The Fellowship Christian Academy wants to educate the entire child. We want to nurture them intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually. All of these aspects need to be addressed in school to help foster an emotionally-stable, intellectually-capable, and spiritually-aware individual. We are here to partner with parents in achieving this goal. The financial challenge of paying for tuition is a light and momentary affliction compared to a child growing up in a spiritual vacuum devoid of any type of lense with which to have a healthy worldview.
So when you ask yourself why you should consider a private Christian school for your child, the answer is to help your child become a disciple, equip him or her with the tools to be effective, and prepare him or her to be firmly grounded in his or her faith. This includes academics, but it is also so much more than just reading, writing, and arithmetic. This will help establish a pattern of thinking and processing information through a Biblical filter, which allows your children to realize who the great I AM is and what He means to their lives.
Fellowship Christian Academy admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. Our school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship programs, and other school-administered programs.
