Private & church schools in Central & West Fort Worth: Downtown, TCU, the Cultural District & Camp Bowie

Downtown and Sundance Square, the Near Southside medical district, the Cultural District, Arlington Heights along Camp Bowie Boulevard, the TCU and Tanglewood neighborhoods, and the Stockyards district north of downtown. Fort Worth Country Day, Nolan Catholic, Cassata, St. Andrew and the Jane Justin School are all inside this loop of older neighborhoods. We list 16 K-12 private schools here, and 12 of them were in the TEFA finder.

Where this comes from. We took each school's TEFA status from the Texas Education Freedom Accounts participating-school finder (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts) on October 12, 2026, and its enrollment, staff count and religious affiliation from the NCES Private School Survey (U.S. Department of Education). Tuition isn't reported to either one, so get today's rates from the school itself before counting on an award.
