Holston Academy

Independent & Secular School for grades 6-12 in San Antonio. In the TEFA finder. Below: what funding fits, what the public records show, and what to ask.

Where this comes from. TEFA participation is from the Texas Education Freedom Accounts participating-school finder (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), which we checked on October 11, 2026. Enrollment, teachers, religious orientation and associations are from the NCES Private School Survey (U.S. Department of Education) (2023-24, or 2021-22 where noted). Neither source reports tuition, so confirm tuition with the school.

What the account adds up to over 7 years, grade 6 through grade 12, at the 2026-27 amount

Holston Academy was in the Texas Comptroller's TEFA participating-school finder when we checked on October 11, 2026, so a student with a Texas Education Freedom Account can use it here. For 2026-27 the account is $10,474 per student. It's paid to the school through the Odyssey platform in three deposits: 25% on July 1, 25% on October 1 and 50% on February 1. To be in the program, a school has to be accredited by a TEPSAC-recognized body or TEA, have operated for at least two school years, and give a norm-referenced test every year in grades 3-12.

Independent schools set their own need-based aid. A school can take a TEFA award into account when it decides aid, but it can't charge a TEFA family a different tuition.

Questions to ask

  1. Are you confirming seats for families awarded in the next TEFA cycle, and how do you handle late awards?
  2. What is tuition for my child's grade, and which fees (registration, books, technology, uniforms, lunch) can come from the account?
  3. Which discounts do you offer, such as sibling, church member or military, and what aid is there for the balance?
  4. Will you accept the TEFA payment schedule (25% July, 25% October, 50% February), or do you need a deposit from personal funds?
  5. Which dual-credit partners do you use, and can those course fees come from the account?
