How the money fits
St. Timothy Christian Academy 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.
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.

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 IEP settings and needs do you have room for, and do you bill on-campus therapy as a school fee?
- Which dual-credit partners do you use, and can those course fees come from the account?
