Does The Whitaker Christian Academy accept the Georgia Promise Scholarship?

Not for 2026-27, based on the state record. The Whitaker Christian Academy 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 The Whitaker Christian Academy take the Georgia Special Needs Scholarship (GSNS)?

Not for 2026-27. The Whitaker Christian Academy 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.
