Private School Tax Season: Louisiana

Louisiana’s individual tax reduction program is one of the best in the country. Parents can claim tax deductions for private school expenses up to $6,000 per student each year.

Several states have K–12 private school education tax benefits, deductions, or refund programs. Please keep the following in mind:

  1. Enlightium Academy is legally a private school, not a homeschool.
  2. Enlightium Academy is accredited, an important distinction for several states in filing for tax benefits. Enlightium Academy is accredited by AdvancEd and the Association of Christian Schools International. More information can be found here.
