Rarely in a lifetime are individuals in a position to found something as significant as a school. In this instance, it is an opportunity to found a school which aspires to recover the lost tools of learning. We know there are many worthy causes to which to commit your time and resources, but we ask that you would prayerfully consider partnering with Dominion, either by praying or by giving financially.
Because Dominion Classical Christian Academy is committed to providing the finest Classical Christian education possible, we believe we must:
- Maintain small class size, a cornerstone of our method of education;
- Provide significant, excellent and continual teacher training in the Classical Christian pedagogy;
- Retain faculty of the highest caliber who love God, their subjects and their students, and who will willingly engage in lifelong learning;
- Be in a position to identify, recruit and hire the necessary teachers to fulfill the requirements a strong Classical Christian education requires;
- Compensate faculty, staff and administration in a manner that reflects their expertise and dedication; and
- Continually strive to improve our understanding of Classical Christian education.
Meeting these goals requires financial resources beyond our tuition, which has been structured to cover the operational costs of the school. (See our Statement on Finances.)

Georgia Tuition Tax Credit
The Georgia Tax Credit for Private Schools program was created by the Georgia legislature in 2008. The program allows Georgia taxpayers who donate up to $2,500 (couples) or $1,000 (individuals) to private schools to receive a dollar-for-dollar state tax credit. Donors may designate a school to receive their donation. For more information on the program, visit the Department of Education Web site.
Donations are made to Student Scholarship Organizations (SSOs), which then distribute the funds to partner schools. Dominion has elected to work with Apogee Scholarship Fund. The SSO program yielded more than $50,000 for scholarships in 2011, enabling Dominion to assist a number of families with tuition costs. The process involves two steps: preapproval by the Department of Revenue, then the actual donation to our scholarship organization, Apogee Scholarship Fund.
For more information Dominion’s participation in this program, see the SSO FAQ.
Firm Foundation Campaign
Our vision is that Dominion be built upon a sure foundation and be established as a generational reality extending the Kingdom of God. Proverbs 13:22 tells us that a good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children. Scripture always displays a generational view and so must we. This campaign is established to provide for the startup costs (staff, equipment, marketing materials, etc.) that typically exceed tuition receipts in the early years of a new school. Having a sufficient balance in this fund will ensure Dominion avoids survival mode and will give our headmaster and staff confidence that our families have a commitment to the long-term future of Dominion.
Dominion Campus Fund
Our desire is to develop and build a long-term active presence in the community we serve. This is best accomplished with a permanent campus. Our expectation is the need for a permanent home within the next three years. We will be establishing a capital fundraising program to accomplish this goal.
Tuition Assistance Fund
Scripture admonishes us to care for those in need. In the spirit of this admonition, we seek to develop a tuition assistance fund for families that desire to have their children attend Dominion but have limited financial resources. Our goal is to provide a tithe (10%) of our annual budget as financial assistance each year.
Matching Corporate Gifts
Many employers will match your charitable gifts, meaning your gifts are worth even more. If your company or firm has a matching gifts program, ask your personnel office for the form to enclose with your check. Dominion has been incorporated as a non-profit organization in the state of Georgia and is recognized as a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization with the IRS. All donations to Dominion Classical Christian Academy are tax-deductible as defined by the IRS. If you would like to assist Dominion financially, please contact us. You may send your gift to Dominion Classical Christian Academy, P.O. Box 744, Dacula, GA 30019.
