Indiana School Choice

Navigating Indiana’s school voucher system shouldn’t feel like a second job. The Indiana Choice Scholarship is designed to give your child access to the private education that fits them best, regardless of your local zip code. For the 2025-2026 school year, nearly 90% of Indiana families now qualify under expanded income limits, making private tuition more accessible than ever. Whether you are looking for a specific faith-based curriculum or a smaller classroom environment, this guide streamlines the ‘fine print’ into a clear, actionable roadmap for your family’s next steps.

The Indiana Education Scholarship Account (ESA)  provides support to children with special needs by allowing families to customize their child’s educational experience. The program provides funds for tuition, special needs services, therapies, individual classes, testing fees, and transportation. Students enrolled in this program receive 90% of their state education dollars. All special education funds are through a government-authorized scholarship account.

Families can claim a $1,000 state income tax deduction per child through the Indiana Private School-Homeschool Deduction Program when their children attend private schools or are homeschooled. This deduction covers educational expenditures such as private school tuition, textbooks, fees, software, tutoring, and supplies. Families can claim deductions for multiple children with no income limit or prior public school requirement. This tax deduction provides financial support to families seeking educational options outside of traditional public schooling for their children.
