New Story Schools Berea

Can a voucher be used at New Story Schools Berea?

Yes, if the school is taking scholarship students this year. Ohio's state school directory (OEDS) lists New Story Schools Berea (IRN 022450) as a chartered nonpublic school, the kind that can enroll EdChoice, EdChoice Expansion and Cleveland Scholarship students. Most families near Berea use EdChoice Expansion, which pays up to $6,166 for grades K-8 and $8,408 for grades 9-12 for 2026-27 and tapers above 450% of poverty; a child who lives in the Cleveland district would bring a Cleveland Scholarship instead.

Because this is a special-education program, the bigger money is usually a disability scholarship rather than a voucher: Jon Peterson pays $10,045 to $34,000 for 2026-27 depending on the category on the child's ETR, and the Autism Scholarship up to $34,000. Confirm that the school bills the one your child would use.

Neither record we use says whether this school has a religious affiliation. When you visit, ask about its mission and curriculum along with tuition, aid and any discounts.

What should we ask New Story Schools Berea before we enroll?

1. Will you file a Cleveland Scholarship or an EdChoice application for my child for 2026-27, and are seats open in that grade?
2. Once the voucher is applied, what do we still owe, and what do registration, books, devices and uniforms add?
3. Do you discount for siblings or members, award need-based aid, or receive money from a tax-credit SGO?
4. Which documents do you need from us to file the application, and when?
5. Which scholarship do you bill for students with IEPs, Jon Peterson or Autism, and which of my child's services happen on site?
6. Which colleges do your students use for College Credit Plus, and when is the counseling session?
7. If we use the Cleveland Scholarship in high school, how do you handle the balance above the award?
