How the funding fits
$7,105–$10,540
Every Arizona K-12 student can open an Empowerment Scholarship Account. For the grades Pleasantview Christian Elementary School serves, ADE's latest chart gives $4,718–$6,205 (K) and $7,105–$10,540 (grades 1-12); 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 Pleasantview Christian Elementary School directly.
Takes STO scholarships from: ACSTO, 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.
The school also has a preschool. The universal ESA starts in kindergarten, so ask about the school's preschool aid and look at DES child care assistance or Quality First scholarships.
Many Valley Christian schools discount tuition for members of the sponsoring church and work with ACSTO or AZTO; ask which of those STOs its families use.
