School Choice
School Choice (through TEFA) is a program that allows families to select the school that best fits their child’s educational needs—while receiving financial support to make that choice more accessible. At Step By Step Christian School, we believe every child deserves a nurturing, faith-based environment where they can grow academically, spiritually, and socially. Through School Choice, eligible families may receive tuition assistance, making it easier to join our vibrant learning community.
Whether you're seeking smaller class sizes, Christ-centered instruction, or a school that values character as much as curriculum, Step By Step Christian School offers a place where students are known, challenged, and celebrated.
