ACSTO
Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization (ACSTO) exists to give Arizona students the opportunity to attend a Christian School. Through the Private School Tax Credit Program, we transform tax credit donations into valuable tuition scholarships. We see a future when no Arizona family can say, “We wish we could put our children in a Christian School, but we just can't afford it.”
For 25 years, parents, schools, and donors have trusted ACSTO to make Christian Education affordable. As Arizona‘s first school tuition organization (STO), we operate on biblical principles, exercise transparency, and go to great lengths to protect a parent‘s right to choose the best educational option for their student.
