What is a Texas Education Savings Account (ESA)?
A Texas Education Savings Account (ESA) is a state-funded program that helps eligible families pay for approved educational expenses, including private school tuition. ESA funds allow parents to choose the learning environment that best fits their child.
How do ESA funds work for private school tuition?
If your family qualifies, ESA funding can be applied directly toward tuition at participating private schools. At TCS, many families are able to use ESA support to cover the full cost of our small-group live online program.
Can ESA funding cover all of my child’s tuition at TCS?
Yes. For eligible Texas families, ESA funding can fully cover tuition for our small-group live online program, meaning there is typically no out-of-pocket cost. Unlike many private schools that charge $30,000–$40,000 per year, TCS is designed to provide a premium education that fits within ESA support.
Who is eligible for Texas ESA funding?
Eligibility requirements are determined by the state and may include factors such as grade level, learning needs, or enrollment status. The best way to find out is to speak with our team—we can help guide you through the process.
Is TCS an approved school for ESA use?
Yes. TCS is an accredited private school and is structured to support families using ESA funding for tuition.
Is TCS a homeschool program?
No. TCS is a fully accredited online private school with live instruction from certified teachers. Students receive official transcripts, credits, and diploma pathways—not self-paced homeschool curriculum.
Are classes live or prerecorded?

What grade levels does TCS serve?
TCS offers a full K–12 program, supporting elementary, middle, and high school students with flexible scheduling and personalized instruction.
What does learning look like day to day?
Students attend live online classes in small groups (or 1-on-1 when appropriate). Schedules are flexible, and learning plans are tailored to each child’s pace, goals, and needs.
Does TCS provide transcripts and diplomas?
Yes. TCS is fully accredited and provides official transcripts, recognized credits, and graduation pathways for college and career preparation.
What makes TCS different from other ESA-eligible schools?

Live teachers in every class
Small-group personalized instruction
Flexible scheduling for modern families
Experienced educators (80% hold Master’s degrees; 19+ years average)
Tuition designed to fit within ESA support
