Schools in Mandeville
Education Is an Important Part of the Mandeville Community
For many homebuyers, schools are an important part of choosing where to live, and the Mandeville area offers a variety of public and private educational options for families to consider.
Mandeville’s public schools are part of the St. Tammany Parish Public School System, with elementary, middle, junior high, and high school options serving the area. Families can also explore several private and faith-based schools on the Northshore.
