Does Christ the King Catholic accept the Florida scholarship, and what would a Duval family receive?
Christ the King Catholic 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 this year, and the money reaches the school quarterly through EMA.
The state also lists Christ the King Catholic 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.
This is a Catholic school in the Diocese of St. Augustine, so the usual plan is the state award first, then parish pricing and school aid, with the diocese's Catholic Student Assistance Fund as a need-based option.
The school's latest state survey (2026) counts 340 students, and its largest grade is grade 2 with 45. Among the 23 private schools registered in Arlington & Regency, it ranks 3rd by reported enrollment. It reports accreditations: FCCAP, COGNIA.
