Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA)The Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) program gives families greater flexibility and choice in their child’s education. Through this state-funded initiative, eligible students may receive financial assistance that can be applied toward tuition and approved educational expenses at participating private schools, including St. Matthew Catholic School. TEFA is designed to expand access and opportunity by empowering parents to invest directly in an educational environment that supports both academic excellence and faith-filled formation. By easing the financial burden of private education, TEFA helps ensure that more families can choose a school community aligned with their values. At St. Matthew Catholic School, TEFA supports our mission to educate a strong, faith-centered community through a commitment to the spiritual, moral, intellectual, social, and physical development of each child.
