The Wellington School

Can EdChoice be used at The Wellington School?

The Wellington School is listed in Ohio's state school directory (OEDS) as a chartered nonpublic school, IRN 090209. That is the school type that can enroll EdChoice and EdChoice Expansion students. For 2026-27 the maximum is $6,166 for grades K-8 and $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.

Because the school enrolls pre-K, ask whether its preschool takes part in the Ohio Preschool Program, Early Start Columbus or publicly funded child care. EdChoice begins at kindergarten.

Independent schools set their own need-based aid. The Ohio Association of Independent Schools runs a certified SGO, and the state scholarship applies here on the same terms as at a religious school when the school is chartered.
