Families who elect to send their children to Georgia Christian Academy enter into a contractual agreement with the school. Should a family remove their child(ren) from Georgia Christian Academy (voluntarily or involuntarily), an obligation for payment for the last month attended (min. one day) is unconditional.

STUDENT WITHDRAWAL DUE TO EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES

Rarely are exceptions granted to the established General Refund Policy. When they are granted, however, they may only be granted by GCA's Head of School. In such cases, he/she will limit exceptions due to the following extenuating circumstances:

1. Death of the student or death of at least one custodial parent

2. Disability of at least one custodial parent

3. Significant income change (defined as a 50% or more reduction in the gross annual income of the primary income earner)

4. Physical household move of a minimum of fifty (50) miles from the current GCA campus

5. Any other reason deemed “extenuating” by the GCA Head of School

In the cases listed above, it is at the discretion and official decision of the GCA Head of School to decide and approve of "extenuating" circumstances.
