Questions parents ask
How many private schools are there in Aliquippa?
3 private schools give Aliquippa as their address: The Hope Christian Academy, Our Lady of Fatima School and Bethel Christian School. Counting nearby towns, we list 32: 3 in Aliquippa and 29 within 12 miles of downtown. Together they enrolled about 4,543 students in the last federal survey (2023-24). The largest in Aliquippa is Our Lady of Fatima School with 113 students. The largest within 12 miles is North Catholic High School with 681 students.
Which Aliquippa private schools take EITC / OSTC?
8 of the 32 schools on this page are on the state’s official OSTC list, 1 of them in Aliquippa itself. They are marked with a green check and listed first in each group. Schools marked “OSTC school” here appear on the Department of Education’s list of schools that accept Opportunity Scholarship (OSTC) students in 2026-27: 398 private schools, reported by the schools themselves (the Department does not audit it). Pennsylvania keeps no list for EITC scholarships, so a school without the mark may still take EITC students. Ask the school which scholarship organizations it works with.
Will EITC / OSTC cover the whole tuition bill?
Sometimes, but do not count on it. Each scholarship organization sets its award; Opportunity Scholarships go up to $8,500, or $15,000 for a student with a disability, 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.
