EdChoice Makes Private School Affordable
Every Ohio family qualifies for the EdChoice Expansion Scholarship. No income cap, no district restriction. Here’s what CBA actually costs after the scholarship:
| K-5 Tuition | $6,466/year |
| EdChoice Scholarship | – $6,166/year |
| Remaining Tuition | $0 for most families$300 if household income is above 250% FPL |
| Textbook Fee | $550/year |
| Registration Fee$125 by April 1 · $175 by June 1 · $225 after | $125–$225 |
| Your Total Annual Cost | $675 – $775 |
Lower-income families pay even less. If your household income is below 250% of the Federal Poverty Level, the tuition gap is covered. You’d only pay the registration and textbook fees ($675–$775/year). That’s roughly $65/month for private school.
All families can set up a 10-month payment plan. Mrs. Loftis handles all the EdChoice paperwork so you don’t have to navigate the process alone. Free bus transportation is available for CPS district families.
