Christian Schools in Downtown, OTR, Clifton, Walnut Hills & Avondale
4 christian schools in Downtown, OTR, Clifton, Walnut Hills & Avondale, 3 of them Ohio-chartered and able to enroll EdChoice students (up to $6,166 K-8 and $8,408 9-12 in 2026-27). The urban core and the uptown hospital-and-university district, with Purcell Marian, St. Ursula Academy, Roger Bacon, DePaul Cristo Rey and a cluster of urban parish grade schools.
About these records. Each school row joins the federal Private School Survey (NCES 2023-24, or 2021-22 when a school skipped the latest round) to Ohio's OEDS directory of chartered nonpublic schools and DEW's 2026-27 non-chartered list, both pulled October 28, 2026. A "chartered" school is the kind that can enroll EdChoice students; schools opt in to scholarship students separately, so confirm with the admissions office. Neither agency collects tuition.
Funding note: Check each listing's status: several Christian academies here chose Ohio's non-chartered path, and EdChoice cannot be used at those.
