Nonpublic

Nonpublic Schools that want to be added to participate in federal and state grant programs must meet the following definition.

A nonpublic school provides instruction in English language arts, mathematics, science and social studies to one or more grade levels that include at least one grade from kindergarten through twelfth grade. The school has a physical location and students are instructed onsite. The nonpublic school may also provide distanced instruction. The school must be a nonprofit but is neither a school district, a neglected/delinquent institution nor a charter school as defined by Missouri law.

Additional information regarding Missouri State Regulations can be found on the US Department of Education website.
