What is a Private School?

    • A private school is a school that does not receive public funding.
    • Families must pay tuition, unless the family is eligible for a voucher or other scholarship.
    • Some private schools are faith-based. Others may have a particular academic focus.
    • Private schools often have different academic classes in addition to or instead of the classes offered at traditional public schools. If you choose a faith-based private school, your child may take required faith-based classes.
    • Students enrolled in non-public schools do not have the same right to receive special education services.
    • Private schools might not offer a breakfast or lunch program.
