Your dollar-for-dollar tax credit donation to ACSTO provides scholarships to students at
Highlands Latin Cottage School of Phoenix Valley.
Welcome to Highlands Latin Cottage School of Phoenix Valley. We are a classical Christian cottage school serving Phoenix, AZ and the surrounding communities. Our desire is to partner with parents in providing a community of like-minded families who train and equip their children in the way that they should go so that they will not depart from it, holding firmly to the Word of Life.
Classical education strives to teach students how to learn, how to think (wisdom), and what to do (virtue). Wisdom and virtue are nurtured through learning of Latin, immersion in classical texts, and the study of the liberal arts.
Christian education at HLS Phoenix Valley is rooted in the inerrant and authoritative Word of God, acknowledging that God is sovereign throughout all time, and has revealed Himself to us through His Son Jesus Christ.
Cottage is a school that meets one day a week in a traditional school model with instruction provided by a trained classroom teacher. Parents provide supplemental, individualized instruction throughout the remainder of the week.
As an Arizona taxpayer, your donation to ACSTO provides scholarships for students to attend Christian Schools while you receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit against your state tax liability!
A tax credit is very different than a charitable deduction—rather than reduce your taxable income, it directly reduces your state tax liability (a.k.a. the tax you pay). This means that at the end of the year, if you normally receive a refund, you’ll get a bigger refund. If you normally owe taxes, you’ll owe less. It is to your advantage to participate in this program!
For example, if your tax liability is $1,000 and you make a $750 donation to ACSTO, your liability will be reduced to $250.
In addition, you can donate all the way up until Tax Day or before you file your taxes (whichever of these comes first), and still claim the credit for the previous tax year.
The best part? ACSTO uses your tax credit donation to award tuition scholarships to Christian School students attending one of our Partner Schools. You can even identify a school or recommend a specific student to be considered for a scholarship.
Thank you for making Christian Education affordable for thousands of Arizona families!
