Montessorium (Cedar Park): TEFA Status & Tuition Help

Where this comes from. TEFA status here reflects the Texas Education Freedom Accounts participating-school finder (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts) as of October 12, 2026. Enrollment, grades and affiliation come from the NCES Private School Survey (U.S. Department of Education). Neither source publishes tuition, so confirm current tuition and fees directly with the school.

What the account adds up to over 7 years, kindergarten through grade 6, at the 2026-27 amount

Montessorium was listed in the Texas Comptroller's TEFA finder when we checked on October 12, 2026, so a student with an Education Freedom Account can use it here. For 2026-27 the account sends $10,474 per student, deposited in three parts: 25% on July 1, 25% on October 1 and the final 50% on February 1.

Independent schools award their own need-based aid. They may consider a TEFA award when they set that aid, but they can't charge a TEFA family a higher tuition than anyone else.

Is the school in the TEFA finder now, and will it take part in 2027-28?
Does billing follow the state's July, October and February deposits, or is a deposit due from us first?
Which fees, such as books, uniforms or lunch, can be charged to the account?
What aid, sibling or church-member pricing is available for any balance?
