Affordability Questions
Understand the options before you move forward.
Tuition and scholarship information changes from year to year. These answers reflect the school-confirmed 2026–27 information and should be reviewed before each admissions cycle.
EdChoice can provide state-funded scholarship support toward tuition for eligible K–12 students. Income is evaluated in relation to the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). For families at 450% FPL and below, the full applicable EdChoice amount is granted. Above 450% FPL, a sliding scale is used to determine the amount granted. All parents may apply.
The full applicable EdChoice amount is $6,166 for Kindergarten through grade 8 and $8,408 for grades 9–12. The actual amount granted depends on household income under the current EdChoice framework.
DCS families pay the difference between annual tuition and the EdChoice amount granted to the student.
Yes. The 2026–27 enrollment fee is $500 per student, with a $1,500 cap per family.
