Funding fit at Marist School
Does Marist School accept the Georgia Promise Scholarship?
Not for 2026-27, based on the state record. Marist 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 Marist School take the Georgia Special Needs Scholarship (GSNS)?
Yes. Marist 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 Marist School?
The federal record describes Marist School as a Catholic school serving grades 7-12: 1,082 students in the federal survey (2023-24); 92 full-time-equivalent teachers, about 12 students per teacher; coeducational; 100% of its last graduating class went on to a four-year college.
Associations it reported to the federal survey: National Catholic Educational Association; National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS); State/regional independent school association (e.g., ISAS).
Can Marist 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.
