Funding fit at The Grove School
Does The Grove School accept the CHOOSE Act ESA?
Not as of the October 23, 2026 list: The Grove School 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 The Grove School?
The federal Private School Survey (2023-24) reports 39 students and 4 full-time-equivalent teachers in grades 1-12.
Membership in an association is not the same as accreditation; ALDOR decides accreditation status for the CHOOSE Act.
How do families usually pay at The Grove School?
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.
