Northshore private schools: Covington, Mandeville, Abita Springs and Slidell

St. Tammany Parish has its own complete private school ladder: Catholic parish schools in Covington, Mandeville and Slidell, four Catholic high schools (St. Paul's and St. Scholastica in Covington, Hannan near Covington, Pope John Paul II in Slidell), Christ Episcopal and Northlake Christian running PK-12, First Baptist Christian, and a cluster of Montessori schools. Families on the Northshore rarely cross the Causeway for school, so this page keeps the list local.

About these figures. Approval status, grade span and enrollment come from the Louisiana Department of Education, 2025-2026 BESE-Approved Nonpublic Schools Academic Classification List & Brumfield v. Dodd Approvals (May 19, 2025). STO participation comes from the Louisiana Department of Education, Tuition Donation Credit Program 2024-2025 Participating Nonpublic Schools. Teacher counts, affiliation and addresses come from the U.S. Department of Education, NCES Private School Survey (2023-24 public-use file; 2021-22 where a school did not respond in 2023-24). Louisiana does not collect tuition, so every tuition figure has to come from the school itself.

* K-12 enrollment on the state's 2025-26 BESE approval list; federal survey enrollment for schools not on that list. "BESE-approved" means the school can accept LA GATOR tuition if it registers in Odyssey for the year. "Not approved" schools can't be paid tuition from the account.

What will your family's LA GATOR amount cover?

Answer five questions. An advisor calls back with your likely amount, the schools that take it, and what fills the gap. Free, no paperwork.
