Questions parents ask
How many private schools are there in Manheim?
4 private schools give Manheim as their address: Manheim Christian Day School, Sporting Hill Mennonite School, Sporting Hill Christian School and Clearview Mennonite School. Counting nearby towns, we list 49: 4 in Manheim and 45 within 12 miles of downtown. Together they enrolled about 5,720 students in the last federal survey (2023-24). The largest in Manheim is Manheim Christian Day School with 200 students. The largest within 12 miles is Mount Calvary Christian School with 657 students.
Which Manheim private schools take EITC / OSTC?
13 of the 49 schools on this page are on the state’s official OSTC list, 1 of them in Manheim itself. They are marked with a green check and listed first in each group. Schools marked “OSTC school” here appear on the Department of Education’s list of schools that accept Opportunity Scholarship (OSTC) students in 2026-27: 398 private schools, reported by the schools themselves (the Department does not audit it). Pennsylvania keeps no list for EITC scholarships, so a school without the mark may still take EITC students. Ask the school which scholarship organizations it works with.
Will EITC / OSTC cover the whole tuition bill?
Sometimes, but do not count on it. Each scholarship organization sets its award; Opportunity Scholarships go up to $8,500, or $15,000 for a student with a disability, and schools set their own prices. Ask each school for tuition plus fees, then use the calculator on this page to see what is left for you to pay.
