Arizona families have unique options for an online, private
education curriculum suited to their child’s specific needs
provided by Stride, Inc., the nation’s leading provider of online
learning and blended education programs. And because these programs
are virtual, students located anywhere in Arizona with an internet
connection can access all of the educational options available.
Those options are:
• Grand Canyon Private Academy (GCPA), launched this past fall,
a new online private school serving grades K–11 for the 2023-24
school year. The school’s curriculum features a dual enrollment
program that enables students to graduate with an associate degree,
seminar-based instruction with a collaborative and
discussion-focused approach and an Early World Language Program
that gives students the opportunity to graduate trilingual.
• FaithPrep Arizona, providing Arizona families with access to a
private online Christian school and homeschool program for students
in grades K-12.
These schools are tuition-free with use of the ESA program to
all students who reside in Arizona, and are staffed by
state-licensed teachers. They offer an individualized approach to
learning, delivering rich, engaging content designed to assist
students who seek alternative pathways to education.
The ESA program is being utilized by almost 50,000 Arizona
students, providing them a pathway to a private school education at
virtually no cost to their families.
“Students across the state — whether in urban or rural areas —
can have the same access to a quality private education at no cost
to their families,” said Janice Gruneberg, Senior Vice President
& Superintendent of Schools. “The ESA program has truly leveled
the playing field in providing opportunities for students that did
not exist before.”
ESA scholarship dollars can contribute to or even fully cover
the cost of tutoring services, learning materials, and private
school tuition. The ESA fully covers full-time tuition, including
all materials, at Grand Canyon Private Academy and FaithPrep
Arizona. This means Arizona students can earn a private school
education 100% tuition-free. Arizona's ESA provides approximately
$7,000 per student for most families, regardless of household
income.
Students choose online school for a variety of reasons including
advanced learning, a bullying-free environment, and the ability to
support extracurricular pursuits or medical needs. The online
platforms give students the opportunity to pursue their academic
goals in a supportive environment and at an appropriate pace for
their learning style.
Both schools are now accepting enrollments for the 2023-2024
school year. Families are encouraged to attend online information
sessions hosted by the schools. For more information, visit the
