School Choice allows parents access to find the right school for their family. This includes private schools like St. Peter’s School, with strong academics and traditional Christan values and morals.
In June 2023, the Ohio Legislature passed a new state budget that included Universal School Choice for all Ohio families. Every family in Ohio, regardless of income, can apply for a scholarship to attend St. Peter’s School.
Families who make less than 450% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPV) will receive a full scholarship covering 100% of tuition for the upcoming school year. Families that earn more than 450% FPV can apply and receive a pro-rated scholarship based on income. The chart below outlines the income levels and scholarship amounts.
Students with a valid IEP or an Autism diagnosis may qualify for The John Peterson Scholarship or Autism Scholarship. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with the admissions office for more information on these scholarship programs.
