Honoring the Families Who Help Launch Dawn Treader Academy

Dawn Treader Academy exists because of families who believe in a Christ-centered education, a strong academic foundation, and a school community built on Scripture, truth, and partnership. Our founding families are not simply enrolling. They are helping establish the culture, mission, and legacy of our school.

To recognize this commitment, Dawn Treader Academy offers the Founding Family Tuition Guarantee, a long-term benefit available only to families who enroll during our founding year.

What is the Founding Family Tuition Guarantee?

Families who enroll during Dawn Treader Academy's inaugural year and remain continuously enrolled, in good financial standing, will retain our Founding Tuition Rates for as long as their children attend the school. Founding Tuition Rates are the 2026-2027 rates in effect during Dawn Treader Academy's inaugural school year. As students advance through the school, Founding Families remain eligible for the corresponding 2026-2027 rate for each grade band. 

This guarantee provides:

  • Long-term tuition stability

  • Protection from future tuition increases

  • A lasting benefit for multi-child families

  • Recognition of your role in launching the school

Founding Families help shape the school's identity, traditions, and community. This guarantee is our way of honoring that investment. 

Who Qualifies as a Founding Family?

A Founding Family is any family who:

  • Enrolls at Dawn Treader Academy during our inaugural school year

  • Completes the enrollment process and pays the Enrollment Fee

  • Remains continuously enrolled

  • Maintains good financial standing

Founding Family status extends to siblings who enroll while the family's Founding Family status remains active.  

What Does "Good Financial Standing" Mean?

To maintain Founding Family status, families must:

  • Keep tuition and fees current

  • Avoid repeated late payments

  • Follow re-enrollment policies

This ensures fairness and stability for all families participating in the guarantee.

How Long Does the Guarantee Last?

The Founding Family Tuition Guarantee remains in effect as long as your children remain enrolled at Dawn Treader Academy without interruption.

If a family withdraws and later returns, standard tuition rates will apply based on date of enrollment.

Why Offer a Founding Family Guarantee?

Launching a new school requires faith, partnership, and shared vision. Founding Families: 

  • Help establish school culture

  • Support early growth and development

  • Provide stability during the inaugural year

  • Invest in the mission of Christian education in the West Valley

This guarantee is our commitment to honor that partnership. 

How to Become a Founding Family

Families who enroll at Dawn Treader Academy during the 2026-2027 school year and complete the enrollment process will be recognized as Founding Families. Founding Family status becomes active when the student begins enrollment at DTA.

A Lasting Legacy

 

We are grateful for every family who chooses Dawn Treader Academy in our inaugural year. Your faith, commitment, and partnership will shape the future of our school for generations.

Welcome to the beginning of something extraordinary.​​
