Churches Launch Christian Schools Amid Rising Demand and Voucher Support

State voucher programs facilitate the growth of church-affiliated schools, sparking debate over public funding and educational choices.

Churches in states like Florida and Ohio are starting new Christian schools to provide education aligned with religious values.
State school voucher programs, while not the primary motivator, have eased the start-up process by providing taxpayer funding for private school tuition.
Advocates argue these schools offer parents more options and help instill Christian morals and values in students.
Opponents express concerns over the diversion of public funds to private religious schools and potential church-state separation issues.
Enrollment in conservative Christian schools is growing, with significant increases noted since 2019, reflecting a nationwide trend.
