Independent & Secular Schools in Palm Harbor, East Lake & Tarpon Springs

10 independent & secular schools in Palm Harbor, East Lake & Tarpon Springs appear in the state file; 9 are flagged for the Private School Scholarship ($8,643 K-3 · $8,059 4-8 · $7,868 9-12 in 2026-27). North county from Palm Harbor's historic Florida Avenue district and the East Lake suburbs to the sponge docks and Greek heritage of Tarpon Springs.

From the state record. School facts here come from the Pinellas district records in the Florida DOE private school directory, pulled October 28, 2026. Program columns show whether the state listed the school for FTC/FES-EO, FES-UA and PEP on that date. Florida does not collect tuition, so confirm prices with each school.

How does the funding work here?

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.
