Private & church schools in Avon, Avon Lake, North Ridgeville & eastern Lorain County
The fast-growing eastern half of Lorain County, with parish elementaries, Christian schools and Montessori and early-learning centers in new subdivisions. We list 11 schools here; 7 are on Ohio's chartered list.
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.
Which voucher? Families here live outside the Cleveland district, so the voucher is EdChoice Expansion, or traditional EdChoice where the assigned public building is designated.
