Q: How much is the annual tuition?
West Dallas Community School offers a high quality, Christian education regardless of a family's financial circumstances. As a result, tuition is not a set amount for every family. Tuition is based on your income and the number of people in your household. You can determine your tuition for each child enrolling by looking at the chart on the Tuition Schedule attached below. Please contact the school office if you have further questions about tuition. We want to work with each family and make sure the commitment we are asking you to make if fair to you and the school. About 92% of our funding comes from private donors throughout the city so that this education can be made affordable to you. The minimum tuition is $650 per child per year. Families are able to pay the tuition over 10 months of the year (September through April).
