High Schools (Grades 9-12) in SouthPark, Cotswold & the Providence Road corridor
8 high schools (grades 9-12) in SouthPark, Cotswold & the Providence Road corridor; 5 are on the 2026-27 Direct Payment list. The densest private-school stretch in the region: the big college-prep campuses, Charlotte Catholic High, the Jewish day school and most of the area's schools built around learning differences.
How this list was built. School details come from the NCES Private School Survey (2023-24, with 2021-22 records for schools that did not respond). The Direct Payment flag is our name-and-city match against the NCSEAA Direct Payment Nonpublic Schools list for 2026-27, retrieved October 28, 2026. Schools on the state list with no federal record show only their name and city. Tuition is not in either source; ask the school.
Funding note: The award does not shrink in high school; the same tier amounts apply in grade 12 as in kindergarten. Juniors and seniors can add tuition-free college courses through Career & College Promise.
| A ✓ Direct Payment flag means | It does not mean |
|---|---|
| NCSEAA listed the school for 2026-27, so Opportunity Scholarship and ESA+ funds can be paid to it | The school has a seat open, or that your child is admitted |
| Your tier award is applied to required tuition and fees | The award covers the whole bill |
| The school agreed to NCSEAA testing and reporting rules for scholarship students | The school is accredited, which the state list does not record |
