Funding fit at Deeper Life Academy
Does Deeper Life Academy accept the CHOOSE Act ESA?
Not as of the October 23, 2026 list: Deeper Life Academy does not appear on ALDOR's participating-school list, so a CHOOSE Act account cannot pay its tuition. A school joins by being accredited (or in process) with a recognized body and applying to ALDOR, which accepts applications year-round.
The CHOOSE Act's definition of an eligible student leaves out children enrolled at a private school that is not participating, so while a child is enrolled here the family would receive no ESA money at all. Ask the school whether it has applied.
What does the federal record say about Deeper Life Academy?
The federal Private School Survey (2023-24) reports 15 students and 3 full-time-equivalent teachers in grades PK-11. Association memberships it reported: Accelerated Christian Education.
Membership in an association is not the same as accreditation; ALDOR decides accreditation status for the CHOOSE Act.
How do families usually pay at Deeper Life Academy?
Christian schools often add member or sibling pricing after state money. If the school runs as a ministry of a church, ask whether it participates in the Edu Fund partner scholarship. The school enrolls pre-K children; the ESA starts at K5, so ask whether it hosts a First Class Pre-K classroom or accepts DHR child care subsidies.
