Data sources. Each listing joins the NCES Private School Survey (2023-24, with 2021-22 rows for non-responders) to the Tennessee Department of Education's 2026-27 Non-Public Schools Directory (updated October 30, 2026) and its 2026-27 Registered EFS Schools list (updated August 24, 2026), all retrieved October 30, 2026. Schools do not report tuition to the state, so confirm prices with the school.
Funding note: The $7,530 award is flat across grades, so it stretches least at a high school; the Dual Enrollment Grant can add college credit at Pellissippi State, Roane State or Walters State.
