Desert Christian Schools (Wrightstown Campus) (Tucson): ESA & STO Scholarship Fit

Where this comes from. School listings were checked on October 12, 2026. Enrollment and grades come from the U.S. Department of Education's Private School Survey (NCES, 2023-24 and 2021-22); STO listings come from the published school lists of Arizona School Tuition Organizations. CTSO's list was not part of our match. No public source shows tuition or which schools take ESA payments, so confirm both with the school.

How the funding fits

$7,105–$10,540

ESA ranges (2025-26 est.) for the grades served here (K, grades 1-12). Used instead of, not on top of, an STO scholarship.

Students reported to the federal survey (2023-24)

Every Arizona student from kindergarten through 12th grade can open an Empowerment Scholarship Account. The latest ADE chart, labeled 2025-26 (ADE estimate; the 2026-27 chart isn't posted yet), puts the range for the grades Desert Christian Schools (Wrightstown Campus) serves at $4,718–$6,205 (K) and $7,105–$10,540 (grades 1-12); where a student lands depends on grade and the public school they would otherwise attend. A qualified private school is paid from the account once it is set up as a ClassWallet vendor, and because the state keeps no list of those schools, ask Desert Christian Schools (Wrightstown Campus) directly before you count on it.

Desert Christian Schools (Wrightstown Campus) did not turn up on any School Tuition Organization list we matched in Oct 2026. Lists change and our match left out some STOs, so ask the school which ones its families use.

Preschoolers are enrolled here too. The universal ESA doesn't begin until kindergarten, so ask about the school's own preschool pricing and whether it takes DES child care assistance or Quality First scholarships.

Many Tucson church schools offer a member or congregation rate and see families supported by ACSTO, IBE and other STOs, so ask how the school combines its discounts with ESA or STO funding.
