For Parents

If eligible to receive the scholarship, new families can apply for BASIC Fund (groups G and H on the table here are eligible for BASIC Fund enrollment). Scholarships are awarded on a first come, first served basis starting in January, until the deadline of March 30th has passed. To complete the application process, parents/guardians must turn in financial paperwork by the required deadline. If the deadline for BASIC Fund has passed, families can still apply and be put on BASIC Fund's wait-list, and scholarships will be awarded periodically through the summer if funds become available. If/when scholarships have been awarded, San Francisco City Academy’s in-house scholarship program will help raise the additional financial support by seeking monthly sponsorships. A 65% in-house scholarship is awarded to families who are eligible and apply to BASIC. Additional funds will be raised to reflect Group G & H costs for eligible families, after they are awarded a third-party scholarship. If funds are not awarded by BASIC, families can apply for financial hardship with the front office and in-house scholarship options may be provided on a case by case basis.

Please see the table here for tuition cost qualifications based on household size, income, and financial aid. Please note: families in Group A are not eligible for financial aid.

The table here reflects tuition amounts for a single student based on household size, income, and awarded financial aid. If a student has been enrolled in SFCA, they may be receiving financial aid in the form of sponsorships and scholarships from BASIC or Guardsmen (groups G and H on the table are eligible for re-enrollment). If a family receives scholarships from BASIC Fund or Guardsmen, families must reapply and be granted these scholarships to be eligible for Groups G and H in the tuition scale. If families do not reapply for the scholarships they were receiving in the previous year, the family will be ineligible for groups G and H in the tuition scale. Families can apply for financial hardship with the front office and in-house scholarship options may be provided on a case by case basis. For students who have not received third-party scholarships in the past, previous in-house scholarships will still be awarded in the coming year. Please note: families in Group A are not eligible for financial aid.

SFCA seeks to include parents in their child’s educational path. The following opportunities are available to parents and guardians. Families that are able to experience 2 out of the 4 choices per quarter will receive a $70 credit to be applied for the following month. Families must communicate a week before the next quarter what two choices they plan on completing. Families will either submit a Google Form confirming their choice or fill out a Parent Involvement contract agreement. The SFCA front office & administration will monitor parental involvement hours. If choosing to be in the school, parents may not bring children with them. Please check in with the front office for more information.
