Which Dunedin private schools take FES / FTC?
36 of the 40 schools on this page are on the state’s official FES / FTC list, 3 of them in Dunedin itself. They are marked with a green check and listed first in each group. Schools marked here are listed as taking the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship (FTC) or the Family Empowerment Scholarship for Educational Options (FES-EO) in the Florida Department of Education’s private school directory. We loaded the directory’s download on October 6, 2026: 2,588 of its 3,607 private schools take one or both. The mark also names FES-UA when the school takes the Unique Abilities scholarship. We match by school name and city, or by phone or street where the names differ. A school without the mark may have joined since, so check the state directory too.
Will FES / FTC cover the whole tuition bill?
Sometimes, but do not count on it. Florida’s FES and FTC scholarships average about $8,000, set by county and grade, and schools set their own prices. Ask each school for tuition plus fees, then use the calculator on this page to see what is left for you to pay.
