Funding fit at Philmore Academy for Science & Arts

Does Philmore Academy for Science & Arts accept the Georgia Promise Scholarship?

Yes. Philmore Academy for Science & Arts is on the Georgia Education Savings Authority's 2026-27 participating school list, approved as of April 23, 2026, so a student who qualifies for the Promise Scholarship can direct up to $6,500 a year to it.

The state records its accreditation as GAC (accredited). A participating school may enroll Promise students only in the grades its accreditation covers, so confirm your child's grade with the admissions office.

Does Philmore Academy for Science & Arts take the Georgia Special Needs Scholarship (GSNS)?

Not for 2026-27. Philmore Academy for Science & Arts isn't on GaDOE's authorized participating list for the Special Needs Scholarship, so a GSNS award can't be used here this year.

There are 153 authorized schools in our directory; the special education hub lists those built around learning differences.

What does the record say about Philmore Academy for Science & Arts?

The federal record describes Philmore Academy for Science & Arts as a private school with no religious affiliation serving grades PK-8: 95 students in the federal survey (2023-24); 11 full-time-equivalent teachers, about 9 students per teacher; coeducational.

Can a four-year-old attend Philmore Academy for Science & Arts through Georgia Pre-K?

Possibly. The school reports pre-K students, and Georgia's lottery-funded Pre-K is free at participating private providers, but the federal record doesn't say whether this school holds a Pre-K contract. Ask, and ask whether the class continues into kindergarten here.
