Independent Schools in Greater Phoenix

Secular private schools: college-prep day schools in Paradise Valley and Arcadia, bilingual and international schools, gifted programs and small specialty academies.

All Catholic Schools Christian Schools Independent Schools Montessori Schools Special-Needs Schools Private High Schools Jewish & Islamic Schools Preschool & Kindergarten Programs

Funding note: The ESA is the usual tool here. Several of these schools are also on IBE, APSTO or School Choice Arizona lists, which matters for families who stay off the ESA.

Independent schools in the Phoenix area include long-standing college-prep day schools, bilingual and international schools, gifted programs and small academies. Tuition varies more here than in any other category, from below the ESA range to more than double its upper end.

* Enrollment reported to the NCES Private School Survey (2023-24 or 2021-22). "STO lists" counts the School Tuition Organizations whose published school list included the school (Oct 2026). Arizona has no state list of ESA schools; ask each school whether it accepts ESA payments through ClassWallet.

See which path fits your child

Answer a few questions about grade, school and area, and a School Funding Advisor will call to walk through the ESA, STO and other options for your family. There is no charge.
