New Data Shows Strong Demand for Faith-Based Education in Florida

ORLANDO, FL — With School Choice Week now behind us, newly released data confirms what Covenant Journey Academy (CJA) has known for years: Educational freedom is a key point of concern for families nationwide, and in Florida, it continues to be a high priority. Currently, 82 percent of students using Step Up funds in the state are enrolled in religiously affiliated schools — Covenant Journey Academy being one of them.

Not only are families actively exercising their freedom in school choice, they also have a strong preference for faith-based learning options for their children. CJA serves as an excellent alternative to low-quality public schools and is a beacon for the future of education for parents who aren’t willing to compromise academic superiority or their values.

Florida specifically continues to lead the nation in school choice expansion, and Governor Ron DeSantis, U.S. Senator Rick Scott, and other local leaders have been outspoken champions of the movement. Florida has built one of the most comprehensive school choice systems in the country. Over the past 20 years, our state has expanded scholarship programs, tax-credit initiatives, and charter school options. In addition, recent legislative changes have broadened eligibility, providing wider access.

“With demand for values-based and biblically grounded education on the rise,” says CJA Founder and Chancellor Mat Staver, “Covenant Journey Academy allows parents to take control of their children’s education. With flexible programs, a wide array of courses designed for full-time, homeschooling, supplemental, and affiliated learning, and the convenience of rolling enrollment, families can start the CJA journey as soon as they’re ready. With an extensive catalog of more than 150 biblically integrated courses, we have everything needed, including complete programs for any student’s elementary, middle school, or high school education — whether you live in the state of Florida or not.”
