Which Delaware private schools take EdChoice?
6 of the 12 schools on this page are on the state’s official EdChoice / Cleveland Scholarship list, 3 of them in Delaware itself. They are marked with a green check and listed first in each group. Schools marked here are chartered nonpublic schools listed as EdChoice or Cleveland Scholarship providers for 2026-27 in the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce Scholarship Provider Directory. We loaded the directory’s export on October 6, 2026: 672 schools. The mark also names the Jon Peterson Special Needs and Autism scholarships when the school takes them. 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 EdChoice cover the whole tuition bill?
