Does Christian Life Academy of Lee County accept the Florida Private School Scholarship?
Yes. On Florida's register, Christian Life Academy of Lee County is flagged for the Private School Scholarship (FTC/FES-EO), meaning a Lee student's award can be spent here: $8,779 for grades K-3; $8,193 for grades 4-8; $8,001 for grades 9-12 for 2026-27, released in four quarterly payments once you approve each enrollment in EMA.
Can a Unique Abilities (FES-UA) student use the account at Christian Life Academy of Lee County?
The school is also flagged for the Unique Abilities Scholarship (FES-UA). For a Lee child whose condition or IEP qualifies, that means a parent-run account worth $11,345 at the base level for grades K-3 (more at a higher matrix level), which can also cover outside therapy, tutoring and a computer every two years.
Its grade span starts at pre-K. Ask whether it's a VPK provider, since the year a child is four can be free, and whether it accepts School Readiness for care around the VPK day.
Christian schools in Lee often keep tuition near the state award and add member pricing or sibling discounts; ask whether the school takes part in the Edu Fund partner scholarship.
