Storybook School (Orlando): Florida Scholarship Status & Funding

Source and date. School details on this page come from the Florida Department of Education Private School Directory (Orange County district), pulled October 28, 2026. The scholarship flags show what the state recorded on that date. Tuition is not reported to the state, so confirm it with the school.

Does Storybook School accept the Florida scholarship in Orange County?

Yes. On October 28, 2026, the Florida Department of Education directory carries Storybook School as a participant in the Florida Tax Credit / Family Empowerment Scholarship (FTC/FES-EO) program, so an Orange County household can direct the state award to this school: $8,420 per student in grades K-3 for 2026-27, delivered to the school each quarter by way of EMA.

VPK year for 4-year-olds, if the school is a VPK provider; ask

Storybook School carries the state's Unique Abilities (FES-UA) participant flag. Under FES-UA's base tier, an Orange County student with a qualifying diagnosis or IEP gets $10,584 in K-3, $9,995 in 4-8 or $9,803 in 9-12, and it can fund therapy and tutoring too.

The school enrolls pre-K, so ask if it is an approved VPK provider and takes School Readiness child care help; the Early Learning Coalition of Orange County keeps that list.

An independent school sets its own need-based aid policy, and the state scholarship works exactly as it does at a religious school.

In the 2025 state survey the school counted 26 students; that ranks Storybook School 18th by size among the 20 schools in Pine Castle, Taft & Meadow Woods that gave an enrollment figure.

What should I ask Storybook School before enrolling?

Does the school take the Florida Private School Scholarship, and is it set up with Step Up For Students, AAA or both?
After the scholarship is applied to my child's grade, what balance remains, and which registration, book or uniform charges does it not cover?
What discounts or aid exist beyond the scholarship: need-based aid, sibling rates, church-member or parishioner pricing?
Which quarterly EMA deadline will the school use to submit my child's enrollment?
Is the school a VPK provider, and does it take School Readiness?
