Funding fit at Holy Family Catholic Academy
Does Holy Family Catholic Academy accept the CHOOSE Act ESA?
Yes. Holy Family Catholic Academy is on the Alabama Department of Revenue's CHOOSE Act participating-school list dated October 23, 2026, so a participating student's $7,000 ESA can pay its tuition and approved fees through ClassWallet.
The award is the same for every grade from K5 through 12; for 2027-28 there is no household income test, though priority groups are served first if money runs short.
What does the federal record say about Holy Family Catholic Academy?
The federal Private School Survey (2023-24) reports 19 students and 6 full-time-equivalent teachers in grades PK-8. Association memberships it reported: National Catholic Educational Association.
Membership in an association is not the same as accreditation; ALDOR decides accreditation status for the CHOOSE Act.
How do families usually pay at Holy Family Catholic Academy?
As a Catholic school in the Diocese of Birmingham, it falls under the diocese's statement that all of its schools are approved CHOOSE Act participants. Some diocesan schools also partner with SGOs; ask which one, because an SGO award replaces the ESA rather than adding to it. 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.
