Christian schools across Pinellas and how families fund them

66 of the 145 schools in the Pinellas file report a religious affiliation, and most are Christian, from large K-12 campuses in Largo and Clearwater to small church programs.

Last verified: October 2026

Do Christian schools in Pinellas take the scholarship?

Most do; the flag is shown on every listing, and the county award is identical at a Christian school and a secular one.

In 2026-27 that is $8,643 for K-3, $8,059 for 4-8 and $7,868 for 9-12.

What else do church schools offer?

Member pricing, sibling discounts and congregation sponsorship funds are common; ask each school what it offers and how to apply.

Some participating church and community schools also offer the Edu Fund partner scholarship.

How do I compare schools by denomination?

The directory tags each school's denomination as filed with the state, and the table can be filtered by community or name.

Non-denominational schools are the largest group in Pinellas, followed by Baptist and Lutheran schools.
