How do families usually pay at Prince of Peace Catholic School?
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.
