Enrollment and staffing move every year, so ask the school for today’s figures. Where this comes from. Something wrong? Tell us and we will fix it.

Tell me if California starts a program

California has no program that pays private school tuition today. It could still start one, or opt in to the federal scholarship tax credit that starts in 2027. Leave your email and we will write once, with the official link, if California starts a program or scholarships under the federal credit open. That is the only email you get.

One email if that happens. No calls, no sharing your details.
