Ad Fontes provides in-class school supplies for the Lower School students. Our Upper School students keep their literature books to build their own Great Books library.
Additional Fees & Expenses
- Uniform (required): We partner with Lands’ End school uniforms. We hold multiple uniform giveaways/exchanges where families pass-on outgrown uniform clothing and accessories in good condition to other families.
- After-School Sports and Activities (optional): Fees are set individually per sport or activity. Sports and some activities will require additional expenses for equipment, etc. Most sports and activities are scheduled and paid seasonally.
- Chick-Fil-A Day and Pizza Day (optional): Students are expected to bring snacks and lunch from home daily. Traditionally, we host a Chick-fil-a Day on Tuesdays and Pizza Day on Thursdays. Twice a year, families are offered the opportunity to pre-order Chick-fil-a sandwiches and cheese and/or pepperoni pizza slices for their students for a semester. No changes are allowed during the semester once orders have been placed. Families forfeit their sandwiches or pizza slices if a student is absent.
- Staff Support and Gifts (optional): The parent association and class parents will organize monetary, food, and other types of donations towards support and appreciation of our faculty and support staff.

“I’ve talked to so many parents who say, ‘I would love to send my child to private school, but I just can’t afford it.’ I believe that all parents want what is best for our children and ultimately, we must trust that God is watching over and protecting our children wherever they may be. However, if you feel God leading you to send your child to Ad Fontes, don’t be discouraged by the ‘how.’ God will provide the way. For us, we feel strongly God has led us to this school and while it does require our family to make sacrifices to do it, by following His plan and sending our son and daughter to Ad Fontes, we are training them up to be disciples of Christ in a loving, supportive environment where they are thriving. We are very thankful to be part of the Ad Fontes family.”
