Proximity Learning

Independent & Secular School for grades K-12 in Austin. In the TEFA finder. Scroll down for funding that fits, the public record, and questions worth asking on a tour.

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.

Proximity Learning 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.

This school reports special-education services or a learning-differences focus. When a TEFA student has a current IEP that TEA has on file, the account grows: for a Austin ISD resident, roughly $15,699 to $16,779 across regular-campus IEP settings, never more than $30,000.

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.

What to ask on your tour

  1. Is the school in the TEFA finder now, and will it take part in 2027-28?
  2. Does billing follow the state's July, October and February deposits, or is a deposit due from us first?
  3. Which fees, such as books, uniforms or lunch, can be charged to the account?
  4. What aid, sibling or church-member pricing is available for any balance?
  5. Which IEP settings and needs do you have room for, and do you bill on-campus therapy as a school fee?
  6. Which dual-credit partners do you use, and can those course fees come from the account?
