About these records. Each listing combines the federal Private School Survey (2023-24, or 2021-22 for non-responders) with the Tennessee Department of Education's 2026-27 Non-Public Schools Directory (updated October 5, 2026), the EFS registered-school list (updated August 24, 2026) and the West Tennessee ESA list (updated September 24, 2026), all pulled October 30, 2026. Schools do not report tuition to the state, so ask the school for it.
Funding note: Independent schools register on the same terms as faith schools, and the area's best-known secular prep schools are on the 2026-27 EFS list. Split between MSCS and a municipal district, so ESA eligibility depends on the exact address.
