Why do many Jacksonville church schools fit within the state award?

Congregation-run schools often price near the Duval award because they share space and staff with a church, and $8,409 for K-3 covers much of a small school's bill though not the large campuses'.

What help do Baptist and church schools add?

Church schools often discount for congregation members, siblings or sponsored seats, so ask what they offer and whether they are part of the Edu Fund Partner Scholarship.

How can a family find a school by denomination and area?

Baptist, Presbyterian, Episcopal, Pentecostal, Lutheran, Adventist and non-denominational schools are tagged and sortable by community.
