Does Christ's Church Academy accept the Florida scholarship, and what would a Duval family receive?
Christ's Church Academy appears on the state's roster of schools that take the Private School Scholarship (FTC/FES-EO). Duval students can spend the award here at $8,409 for grades K-3; $7,821 for grades 4-8; $7,629 for grades 9-12 this year, and the money reaches the school quarterly through EMA.
The state also lists Christ's Church Academy as an FES-UA school. A child with a qualifying diagnosis or IEP can put FES-UA ($10,573 at matrix levels 1-3 in Duval) toward therapies and tutors on top of tuition.
The school starts at pre-K, so ask whether it provides Florida VPK for four-year-olds and whether it takes School Readiness child care assistance through the Early Learning Coalition of Duval. A child who begins here can move into kindergarten on the state scholarship without changing campuses.
Schools tied to a church frequently discount for members and siblings or run sponsorship funds, and some join the Edu Fund Partner Scholarship. The registered name points to a congregation as the operator.
The school's latest state survey (2025) counts 662 students, and its largest grade is pre-k with 116. Among the 22 private schools registered in Mandarin, San Jose & Bartram, it ranks 2nd by reported enrollment. It reports accreditations: ACSI, COGNIA.
