Christian Schools in Midtown, Downtown, North & South Memphis
10 christian schools in Midtown, Downtown, North & South Memphis: 6 registered for EFS and 7 approved for the ESA. The urban core between the river and Highland Street: an Episcopal parish day school, a boys' K-6 on Poplar, Montessori and lab schools, small church academies and the largest homeschool umbrella program in West Tennessee.
Funding note: The split that matters is the approval category: Category I, II and III Christian schools can register for EFS, while a Category IV-only church school cannot. Mostly zoned to Memphis-Shelby County Schools, so income-eligible students can usually use the ESA.
