Christian Schools in Lorain, Elyria, Amherst & Sheffield

3 christian schools in Lorain, Elyria, Amherst & Sheffield; 3 are chartered and can take EdChoice (up to $6,166 K-8 and $8,408 9-12 in 2026-27). The two Lorain County cities and their neighbors, where Lorain City Schools has every open building on the EdChoice designated list and Elyria nearly all of its buildings, alongside Catholic, Christian and new chartered schools.

About these records. Each school combines the federal Private School Survey (NCES 2023-24, or 2021-22 where a school skipped the latest round) with Ohio's state school directory (OEDS) and DEW's 2026-27 list of non-chartered schools, both pulled October 28, 2026. "Chartered" means OEDS lists the school as a chartered nonpublic school, the only kind that can take Cleveland Scholarship or EdChoice students; schools also register each year as providers, so confirm with the school. Neither agency collects tuition.

Funding note: Check the charter before you count on a voucher: the larger Christian schools here are chartered, while a handful of smaller ones chose the non-chartered route.
