Question:   Do tuition and related expenses paid to attend a private high schools qualify for the education credits?

Answer:   No. Expenses paid to attend high school do not qualify for the education credits because a high school is not an eligible educational institution.

• In general, an eligible educational institution is an accredited college, university, vocational school, or other postsecondary educational institution, including an accredited, public, nonprofit, or proprietary (private-owned, profit-making) postsecondary institution.
• Additionally, in order to be an eligible educational institution, the school must be eligible to participate in a student aid program administered by the Department of Education.
