How the funding fits
$7,105–$10,540
Every Arizona K-12 student can open an Empowerment Scholarship Account. For the grades St. Anthony of Padua 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 St. Anthony of Padua School directly.
St. Anthony of Padua School 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.
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.
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.
