Tuition and Aid

for the 2025-26 School Year

Davidson Academy Online uses a flexible tuition model that takes into consideration annual family income, cost of living adjustment based on location of primary residence, the number of dependents in the household, and other relevant factors to determine a personalized tuition level for each family.

The flexible tuition model is calculated by completing an application through FAST (Financial Aid for School Tuition), a third-party online service that offers a standardized, confidential process to ensure an equitable platform for all applicants. Families who wish to know their tuition amount first, before completing a Davidson Academy Online application, may complete the FAST process. There is a $60 non-refundable application fee payable upon submission of the application. The FAST application deadline has passed. The next time to apply will be for the 2026-27 school year.

Additionally, students who are on a personalized tuition plan may have access to loaner textbooks.
