How the funding fits
Every Arizona K-12 student can open an Empowerment Scholarship Account. For the grades Our Lady of the Sun Catholic Church serves, ADE's latest chart gives $7,105–$10,540; 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 Our Lady of the Sun Catholic Church directly.
Our Lady of the Sun Catholic Church did not turn up on any STO's published school list when we checked (Oct 2026). Lists change, so ask the school which STOs its families use.
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.
