Questions parents ask
How many private schools are there in Phoenixville?
3 private schools give Phoenixville as their address: Holy Family School, Cottage Seven Academy and Charlestown Playhouse. Counting nearby towns, we list 21: 3 in Phoenixville and 18 within 6 miles of downtown. Together they enrolled about 2,208 students in the last federal survey (2023-24). The largest in Phoenixville is Holy Family School with 165 students. The largest within 6 miles is Pope John Paul II High School with 742 students.
Which Phoenixville private schools take EITC / OSTC?
2 of the 21 schools on this page are on the state’s official OSTC list, 1 of them in Phoenixville 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.
