Charter Information
General Overview (from The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce website)
The Educational Choice Expansion Scholarship (EdChoice) Program provides students from designated public schools the opportunity to attend participating private schools. The EdChoice Expansion Program is an income-based program. It provides scholarships to students in grades K–12 based on household income level.
The scholarship amount is $6,166 for grades K–8 and $8,408 for grades 9-12. (The scholarship does not apply to Preschool at this time.)
FAQ
Q: Are preschool students eligible to receive the scholarship?
A: Not at this time. The State of Ohio has talked about extending this scholarship to preschool students, but nothing is in the works presently. See the "For Parents" Enrollment page for 2024-25 tuition rates for preschool.
Q: How can I apply for this scholarship?
A: FCS is in the process of applying for charter status. Once all application materials have been submitted, the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce will conducted the necessary campus visits. Upon the State's approval, FCS can obtain charter status. Then, the process of school and parent application for scholarships can begin. See website below for a preview (but you will not be able to apply until the State has approved our application for charter.)
Q: Will the curriculum at FCS change due to charter status?
A: No. We will continue to teach the same Biblically integrated curriculum that we have been using.
Q: What does "income-based program" mean when it comes to EdChoice Expansion scholarships?
A: Scholarship amounts are based on the number of members of your household and your annual adjusted gross income (line 11 of your federal income tax return). Please see 2024-25 School Year Information|Guidance for detailed information.
