Holy Family Catholic School

Does Holy Family Catholic School accept the Florida scholarship, and what would a Duval family receive?

Holy Family Catholic School 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 Holy Family Catholic School 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.

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 440 students, and its largest grade is pre-k with 52. Among the 16 private schools registered in Southside, Baymeadows & Deerwood, it ranks 2nd by reported enrollment. It reports an accreditation: FCCAP.
