Christian Schools in Hoover, Vestavia Hills & Cahaba Heights
8 christian schools in Hoover, Vestavia Hills & Cahaba Heights; 3 on the CHOOSE Act participating list. The big southern suburbs along I-459 and US-31, with a Catholic K-8, an Adventist school and many church kindergartens.
Where this comes from. School details are from the NCES Private School Survey (2023-24, or 2021-22 where a school skipped the latest round). CHOOSE Act status is from the Alabama Department of Revenue participating-school list dated October 23, 2026, matched by name and city. Tuition is not published in either source, so confirm it with the school.
Christian schools appear on the state participating list only if they are accredited (or in process) by a recognized body, which is why some long-running church academies are missing.
