Diagnosis

Evaluation & Recommendation

Student applicants should possess a current diagnosis of Specified Learning Disability and/or ADHD (Inattentive, Hyperactive-Impulsive, or Combined).

Evaluation & Recommendation

A current and complete psychological, psycho-educational, or neurological evaluation must be provided, along with recommendations from at least two teachers.

Verbal & Cognitive Ability

A student's verbal and cognitive abilities should fall in the average to above average range. At Fletcher, we do not specialize in serving low-verbal students or those identified with an intellectual disability.

Academic Need

Verbal & Cognitive Ability

A child's developmental history and professional recommendations must emphasize academic need - not emotional or behavioral need. TFA does not provide therapeutic services, nor do we specialize in behavioral challenges.

Tuition & Affordability

Tuition

TFA strives to make tuition affordable for its families. Total out of pocket costs usually range between 20% to 100% of the full annual tuition rate, depending on the level of financial assistance for which one qualifies. Before taking assistance into account, TFA's full tuition rates for 2020-2021 are as follows:

2nd through 5th grade: $19,488
6th and 7th grade: $21,840
8th through 12th grade: $22,380

Affordability

There are several ways to secure financial assistance. Opportunities include a payment plan option, education loan, state assistance and financial aid awarded by the school:

A variety of payment plan options are available, including a discounted full payment in August, two annual payments (August and January), or monthly payments (June – May).
Parents may apply for a low fixed-rate education loan from Your Tuition Solution.
Many of our students qualify for additional assistance from the North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority via its Opportunity Scholarship, Disabilities Grant and Education Savings Account programs.
Families may also apply for a financial aid grant awarded directly from the Academy's financial aid budget. Application is an easy process. We consider an array of household factors, including income, debts outstanding, assets, depreciation, unusual expenses, number of dependents, etc. Due to this wide range of considerations, more than a third of our families qualify for an award. Parents may file an application through TADS (Tuition and Data Services) by clicking this link and creating an account. Please note the following financial aid guidelines:

Families must submit to TADS a copy of their most recent Federal Income Tax Forms (1040) as well as copies of all W-2 and 1099 forms.
Families struggling with unique hardship should submit a detailed letter to TFA's business office in addition to completing the online TADS application.
Divorced or separated parents should submit separate, independent financial aid applications.
Because financial circumstances change, parents are asked to reapply for financial aid each additional year their child is enrolled.
Financial aid application materials and grant award information is confidential and must remain so between each applicant and the school.
