Plenty of families cross a county line for the right school — the scholarship follows the child, not the address.

Using Step Up in St. Johns County

Almost everyone calls this the Step Up scholarship. It is worth roughly $8,000 per child per year for private school, and since 2023 there has been no household income cap. 27 schools here take it. If the four different program names are confusing, here is the whole thing in one page.

Schools flagged PEP hybrid run part-time programs that pair with home instruction, which is how many homeschool families in St. Johns County use two or three days of formal classes alongside their own teaching.

Call the school before anything else. Ask two questions: do you currently take my scholarship program, and do you have a seat in my child's grade. Participation and capacity both change during the year.

Where this list comes from

Compiled from the Florida Department of Education's private school directory, which is built from schools' own annual survey responses under section 1002.42, Florida Statutes. The Department does not independently verify the data, and inclusion is not approval or accreditation — by the state or by us. Pulled August 2, 2026. Confirm directly with the school before making any decision. Run one of these schools? Claim your listing to add your own description.

We are not Step Up For Students. We cannot see your account and we cannot approve anything — we just put their list somewhere you can read it. You apply free at apply.stepupforstudents.org. Anyone charging a fee to apply is running a scam.
