Arizona Tax Credit

    Turn Your Taxes Into Scholarships

    Arizona's private-school tuition tax-credit program lets you redirect part of the state income tax you already owe to a School Tuition Organization — which awards it as scholarships to students at schools like St. Peter's. Because it's a dollar-for-dollar credit, it often costs you nothing extra; you simply choose where some of your tax dollars go.

    Our student population is rich in diversity. Families travel from as far as 30 miles to be here, more than 60% of our students are from minority communities, and our school represents families from over eight different countries. As the state's only Montessori school also recognized as a Purple Star School in support of military families, over 10% of our students are military-connected, and more than 29% rely on scholarships to attend. We are truly rich in diversity and appreciate your support to make Montessori education accessible to all children.

    How it works

    Three simple steps

    Make a contribution

    Give to one of our partner School Tuition Organizations before you file your Arizona return, up to the state's annual credit limits.

    Claim your credit

    Receive a dollar-for-dollar credit against your Arizona state income taxes — a credit, not just a deduction.

    A child receives a scholarship

    The organization awards your contribution as tuition assistance, helping make a St. Peter's education possible. You may recommend a student (state rules do not permit recommending your own dependent).

    Please note: Arizona sets the tax-credit limits each year, and they can change. We're a school, not a tax advisor — please confirm the current limits and exactly how the credit applies to your situation with the tuition organization or a qualified tax professional.
