A new school will open inside an Ohio church this fall in hopes of becoming a model for other churches to launch affordable, private schools for students in low-income neighborhoods as the state government will pay thousands in tuition per student.

A new private school has been commissioned in Columbus, but it’s not like many others. What makes this one different is the elementary school is housed in a church, in a low-income neighborhood. This is a pilot project for the Center for Christian Virtue. And the group said it’s just the first of many that will use church facilities for a private Christian school.
Ohio churches have teamed up with a religious organization to create an alternative to public education in low-income areas, but the plan has earned the ire of the ACLU.
