What Is TEFA?
The Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA) program allows eligible families to use state education funds toward approved educational expenses, including private education options.
For many families, TEFA opens the door to educational opportunities that previously felt financially out of reach.
ParagonED offers multiple flexible enrollment pathways that may work well for TEFA-funded families.
