How the funding fits
Every Arizona K-12 student can open an Empowerment Scholarship Account. For the grades Blessed Sacrament Preschool & Kindergarten serves, ADE's latest chart gives $4,718–$6,205; that chart is labeled 2025-26 (ADE estimate; the 2026-27 chart isn't posted yet), and the exact figure depends on grade and the funding formula for the school the child would otherwise attend. The account can pay tuition at a qualified private school that is set up as a ClassWallet vendor. The state keeps no list of schools that take ESA payments, so ask Blessed Sacrament Preschool & Kindergarten directly.
Takes STO scholarships from: School Choice Arizona (per each STO's published school list, Oct 2026). Each STO decides its own awards, so apply to every one on this list that fits; appearing on a list is not a promise of money. Remember that a child on an ESA contract cannot take an STO scholarship that same year, so this is a choice, not an extra.
Catholic schools in the Valley set tuition parish by parish, and most charge a lower rate to registered, active parishioners, so ask for both figures.

What the records show
The U.S. Department of Education's Private School Survey (2023-24) shows the school reporting 10 students, 2 full-time-equivalent teachers, a 5:1 student-teacher ratio and grades K, with a Catholic religious orientation.
Memberships/accreditation listed by: NCEA. These come from the associations' public directories. A membership is not always accreditation, so confirm the school's current status.
