Which Huntsville private schools take CHOOSE Act?

23 of the 35 schools on this page are on the state’s official CHOOSE Act list. They are marked with a green check and listed first. Schools marked here appear on the participating-schools list the Alabama Department of Revenue publishes. We match by school name and city.

Will CHOOSE Act cover the whole tuition bill?
