Prince of Peace Catholic School

Parish & Catholic School for grades PK-8 in Plano. In the TEFA finder. Read on for the funding that applies, what state and federal records say, and the questions worth asking.

Where this comes from. Whether a school takes TEFA comes from the Texas Education Freedom Accounts participating-school finder (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), which we checked on October 12, 2026. Enrollment, grades and religious affiliation come from the NCES Private School Survey (U.S. Department of Education). Neither source publishes tuition, so confirm current tuition and fees with the school directly.

How the money fits

$10,474
TEFA private-school award, 2026-27. It's the same at every grade served here (PK-8).
$15,924 to $17,051
Typical TEFA total with an IEP for a Plano ISD resident (resource/self-contained to mainstream)
$94,266
What the account adds up to over 9 years, kindergarten through grade 8, at the 2026-27 amount

Prince of Peace Catholic School was listed as a participating school in the state's TEFA finder on October 12, 2026. That means a student with an Education Freedom Account can put the 2026-27 award of $10,474 toward tuition here. The state pays the school directly through Odyssey: a quarter on July 1, another quarter on October 1, and the remaining half on February 1.

This school says it offers special-education services or focuses on learning differences. A TEFA student whose IEP is on file with TEA gets a bigger account here: for a family living in Plano ISD, roughly $15,924 to $17,051 in the regular-campus IEP settings, never more than $30,000.

This school also enrolls pre-K students. TEFA funds a 3- or 4-year-old at the full award only if the child meets a free pre-K criterion, for example free or reduced-price lunch eligibility, limited English, foster care history, or a parent who teaches in a Texas public school. From kindergarten on, any eligible child can be funded.

Most Catholic schools in the Diocese of Dallas were in the TEFA finder when we checked, and the diocese employs a TEFA liaison to help families apply. At diocesan schools, need-based aid comes from the Catholic Schools Office Tuition Assistance Program through FACTS; independent Catholic schools such as Jesuit, Ursuline and Cistercian run their own aid. Parishioner and sibling rates keep applying for TEFA families. Catholic schools in Denton County are part of the Diocese of Fort Worth.

What to ask the school

  1. Will you be in TEFA for 2027-28, and how do you handle a family that's awarded after the school year starts?
  2. Which of your fees (registration, books, technology, uniforms, lunch) can be billed to the account?
  3. What need-based aid, sibling rate or church or parish pricing applies to the balance?
  4. Do you serve students with an IEP or a learning difference, and what support is included in tuition?
  5. Which IEP settings and needs do you have room for, and do you bill on-campus therapy as a school fee?
  6. Are you an approved TEFA pre-K provider, and do you take child care assistance for after-care?
