The Texas Education Funding Account (TEFA) program is a new state initiative that provides financial assistance to qualifying families who choose to enroll their children in an approved private school. Instead of funds going directly to a public school, a portion of state education funding is placed into an account that families can use toward eligible educational expenses such as private school tuition and certain required academic services or materials.
At this time, only Kindergarten through 7th grades are eligible to apply for TEFA funds. These funds may be applied toward tuition and required academic fees at Parkway Christian Academy, in accordance with state guidelines. They do not cover non-instructional or optional costs such as enrollment or registration fees, lunch, Before or After School Care, field trips, parties, extracurricular activities, or other incidental expenses.
TEFA is designed to expand educational options for families while allowing students to attend a participating school that best fits their needs. Families who qualify and are approved through the state’s application process will be notified the week of April 6th, 2026. Once they receive access to their funds, families should direct them toward their chosen participating school, such as Parkway Christian Academy.
