Independent & Other Private Schools in Midtown, Downtown & Intown East
16 independent & other private schools in the record for Midtown, Downtown & Intown East; 4 on the 2026-27 Promise list and 2 authorized for GSNS. The neighborhoods inside the Perimeter from Midtown to Kirkwood and East Atlanta: progressive and Montessori schools, church preschools and Cristo Rey's Jesuit high school.
Where this comes from. School facts are from the NCES Private School Survey (2023-24, or 2021-22 for schools that didn't respond), matched by name and address to Georgia's 2026-27 Promise Scholarship participating list (approved as of April 23, 2026) and GaDOE's 2026-27 Special Needs Scholarship list (August 2026), retrieved October 28, 2026. Tuition isn't in any of these records, so confirm it with the school.
Funding note: Georgia's scholarship laws don't care whether a school is religious. Accreditation is what decides whether Promise or an SSO can pay it.
