Does Bannworth Academy of Classical Education accept the Florida Private School Scholarship?
Not as of October 28, 2026. The state directory doesn't flag Bannworth Academy of Classical Education as an FTC/FES-EO participant. Schools opt in through Step Up or AAA, so it's worth asking if this one intends to, and whether PEP or FES-UA money can pay for any of its programs.
The state award applies to faith-based schools of every tradition on the same footing; ask about the school's own assistance.
