Amite Christian Academy

LA GATOR and Amite Christian Academy

Amite Christian Academy is on the Louisiana Department of Education's 2025-26 list of BESE-approved nonpublic schools, classified as accredited. BESE approval is what a school needs to accept LA GATOR tuition from a family's account. Its federal Brumfield v. Dodd nondiscrimination approval dates to 2017.

The state doesn't publish which approved schools registered with LA GATOR each year (statewide, more than 240 took part in the first year), so ask the office whether it is set up for 2026-27 and how it bills the account.

The school reported 135 K-12 students on that list. That ranks #47 of 69 approved schools in our ten-parish directory by K-12 enrollment.

Amite Christian Academy was not on the 2024-25 Tuition Donation Credit participating list, so STO scholarships may not be available here. Ask whether the school has joined since.

From kindergarten through grade 8 is 9 school years. At 2026-27 amounts, a student funded every year here would bring about $47,187 at the standard amount, or $68,634 at the 250%-of-poverty amount. Amounts are set each year and new awards depend on funding, so treat this as a planning number.

Paying the balance

Church schools often offer member, sibling and staff discounts. Ask whether they still apply when part of the bill is paid from LA GATOR, and which fees (registration, books, uniforms, technology) the school bills through Odyssey.

Questions to ask the school

1. Are you registered as a participating LA GATOR school in Odyssey for 2026-27, and how do you bill the account?
2. What is the full cost for my child's grade, including mandatory fees, and what's left after the account?
3. Do you accept STO scholarships (ACE, Arete, Aspiring Scholars, Son of a Saint), and in what order do you apply them?
4. Which state test or national norm-referenced test do LA GATOR students take here?
