Independent & Secular Schools in St. Petersburg & Pinellas County

Non-religious private schools in Pinellas: college prep, international and language schools, Montessori, microschools and online programs.

How does Florida funding work at independent & secular schools in Pinellas?

Religious affiliation is not a condition of the Florida scholarship. A secular school with the state flag receives exactly the same Pinellas award a church school does.
