What is TEFA?
In 2025, the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 2 and provided $1 billion in funding to create the Texas Education
Freedom Accounts (TEFA) program, a program that gives parents greater freedom and flexibility in choosing the best educational environment for their children.
The TEFA program, administered by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, is expected to be the largest day-one school choice initiative in the nation. Through this program, parents who choose to enroll their children outside of the public school system – including a private school or homeschool – and are accepted into the program can use their child’s TEFA funds to pay for approved education-related expenses through the program marketplace.
TEFA reflects Texas's commitment to educational freedom, allowing families to choose options like private school tuition that best meet their child's needs. At Grace Christian Academy, we are ready to welcome TEFA families for the 2026-2027 school year as long as they meet our enrollment requirements.
