TKA BUDGET
Please read this letter regarding tuition and budget for 2025-2026.
The charts shown below reflect our sources and uses of operating funds. Net tuition income (total tuition less tuition assistance) covers 92% of our budget.
Our largest expenditure, as it is for all private schools, is salaries and benefits, representing 67% of our budget. TKA has worked diligently to keep salaries and benefits at a competitive level relative to public and private schools in our area. Our staff bring our Christ-centered mission to life every day, so attracting and retaining well-qualified employees is critical to our success. Our next highest expense is rent at 15% of the budget. This allocation has increased as the school has grown, and as we have invested in refurbishing our facilities.
