Discipleship School

The Day School is designed for 18–30-year-olds (without children) who are able to be immersed in a full-time, intensive learning environment. Flexibility is a necessity when it comes to school hours, moving around Waco to share the gospel, praying at times through the night and participating in a two-month outreach overseas.

It also helps if the student has very few financial responsibilities during this school term. Outside employment is allowed, but schedules must work around the full-time school schedule.

The school typically runs August – December.

• In Waco: August – November.
• Overseas Outreach: November – December.

The school will meet 40 hours per week, Monday – Friday. Hourly schedules vary by weekday. Some Sunday requirements may occur.

Students will be required to attend all 5 months of the school. Starting late or ending early is not permitted.

Cost is broken down into three categories:

• Tuition: $1,500 (not tax-deductible)
• Outreach: ~$5,000 (tax-deductible, fundraising allowed)
• Living Expenses: $3,000-$4,500 while in Waco for 3 months — varies widely depending on housing; living expenses are not paid to Antioch

Support-raising for the overseas outreach is permitted. Tuition and living expenses should be personally paid. Friends and family may contribute to your tuition (paid to the church), but tuition donations will not be tax-deductible to the donor.

Tuition is due prior to the start of the school. Fundraising for the outreach will begin once the school term starts.

No, students will need to find their own housing.

Full-time jobs will not be possible while in the Day School. Some side jobs or part-time jobs may be possible as long as they do not interfere with the school schedule.
