Funding fit at Holy Spirit Preparatory School
Does Holy Spirit Preparatory School accept the Georgia Promise Scholarship?
Not for 2026-27, based on the state record. Holy Spirit Preparatory School does not appear on GESA's participating school list approved as of April 23, 2026, so Promise funds can't pay its tuition.
Schools could apply in the October 1-31, 2026 window, and new approvals are added to the list. A Promise family could still use the account for approved items outside tuition, or choose a participating school.
Does Holy Spirit Preparatory School take the Georgia Special Needs Scholarship (GSNS)?
Yes. Holy Spirit Preparatory School is on the Georgia Department of Education's authorized participating list for the 2026-27 Special Needs Scholarship. A student who had an IEP, or a 504 plan for a listed condition, in a Georgia public school last year can bring a GSNS award here.
Authorization lets the school accept the scholarship. It doesn't mean the school provides every service in an IEP, so ask about the specific supports your child uses.
What does the record say about Holy Spirit Preparatory School?
The federal record describes Holy Spirit Preparatory School as a Catholic school serving grades K-12: 297 students in the federal survey (2023-24); 21 full-time-equivalent teachers, about 14 students per teacher; coeducational; classified as a montessori school; 100% of its last graduating class went on to a four-year college.
Can Holy Spirit Preparatory School students earn college credit for free?
Yes, through Georgia's Dual Enrollment program, which covers private school juniors and seniors for up to 30 semester hours of approved courses. Ask the counseling office which colleges its students use.
