Chesterton Academy of St. Benedict (Hilliard): EdChoice Status & Funding

Where this comes from. School records combine the federal Private School Survey (NCES, 2023-24, with 2021-22 rows for schools that did not respond) with Ohio's state school directory (OEDS) and DEW's 2026-27 non-chartered school list, both retrieved October 28, 2026. "Chartered" means the school appears in OEDS as a chartered nonpublic school, the school type that can enroll EdChoice students; each school also registers as a scholarship provider, so confirm participation with the school. Tuition is not reported to either agency.

Can EdChoice be used at Chesterton Academy of St. Benedict?

$8,408

2026-27 EdChoice maximum, grades 9-12

Chesterton Academy of St. Benedict is listed in Ohio's state school directory (OEDS) as a chartered nonpublic school, IRN 022425. That is the school type that can enroll EdChoice and EdChoice Expansion students. For 2026-27 the maximum is $8,408 for grades 9-12, paid to the school toward tuition. Schools register separately as scholarship providers, so ask the admissions office whether it is accepting EdChoice students for your child's grade.

As a Catholic school, families here can also apply for Diocese of Columbus tuition assistance through FACTS by March 15, ask about parish aid, and look to the Emmaus Road Scholarship Fund, the diocese's SGO.
