Private & church schools in Northwest Tucson, Oro Valley & Marana

Casas Adobes, the Magee and Orange Grove corridors, Oro Valley and the fast-growing Marana and Continental Ranch subdivisions. Families here look at Pusch Ridge's upper school on Oracle, the Immaculate Heart campuses, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and a cluster of Lutheran schools. We list 17 private schools here, and 17 of them are on at least one STO school list.

Where this comes from. School listings were checked on October 12, 2026. Enrollment and grades come from the U.S. Department of Education's Private School Survey (NCES, 2023-24 and 2021-22); STO listings come from the published school lists of Arizona School Tuition Organizations. CTSO's list was not part of our match. No public source shows tuition or which schools take ESA payments, so confirm both with the school.
