Thank you for taking time to express your thoughts [about the tuition increase and property purchase]. Although we could not consult everyone effectively, we did consult with many parents and families over the last few years as we approached several opportunities to purchase various properties. I can hardly count how many times I had a dad jump in my car to go look at a possible campus while discussing the location and the potential for cost increases. Most parents also could not be aware of the remarkable amount of time spent each year securing leased facilities and cooperating with the landlords with whom we share those facilities. We are grateful for the new property and will develop it as the Lord provides in order to assure permanence.

Before raising tuition we agonized over how to assure that those who would be placed in a hardship would be provided for through our existing tuition assistance program. We chose to double the percentage devoted to this program and announced this along with the tuition increase. I encourage you to apply with the sincere desire to be able to provide for you and other families that would enjoy continuing in the classical-Christian program of CDA but could not do so with the tuition increase.
