How the money fits
Privested Academy was not in the state's TEFA finder when we checked on October 12, 2026, so an Education Freedom Account can't be used for tuition here right now. To join, a school must be accredited by a TEPSAC-recognized body or TEA, have operated for at least two school years, and give students in grades 3-12 a nationally norm-referenced test each year. Until then, families can look at the school's own aid, the 2027 federal scholarship credit, or a participating school nearby.
Church schools in the Dallas area commonly offer member pricing, sibling discounts and congregation-funded sponsorships, and the state's tuition guidelines keep those discounts in place for TEFA families. A school run by a local church may also qualify for the Edu Fund partner scholarship, which has no income cap.

The school's most recent federal Private School Survey response (2023-24) listed 32 K-12 students, 4 full-time-equivalent teachers, a 7.4:1 student-teacher ratio, 100% of the previous year's graduates going on to four-year colleges and a 180-day school year.
Associations (federal survey): Association of Christian Teachers and Schools; Association of Classical Christian Schools.
What to ask the school
- Will you be in TEFA for 2027-28, and how do you handle a family that's awarded after the school year starts?
- Which of your fees (registration, books, technology, uniforms, lunch) can be billed to the account?
- What need-based aid, sibling rate or church or parish pricing applies to the balance?
- Do you serve students with an IEP or a learning difference, and what support is included in tuition?
- Which dual-credit partners do you use, and can those course fees come from the account?
