Elim Christian School

Funding fit for Elim Christian School

As of October 9, 2026, Elim Christian School does not appear in the Texas TEFA participating-school finder. Schools can apply at any time if they meet the accreditation and two-year operating requirements. If you are considering this school, ask whether it has applied. You can also look at school-based aid, the federal scholarship tax credit that starts in January 2027, and the participating schools nearby listed below.

The school reports special education services or a learning-differences focus. TEFA's IEP funding (up to $30,000) can only be used at a participating school, so ask whether the school plans to join.

Christian and church-affiliated schools often offer member rates, sponsorships and sibling discounts, and the state's guidelines require those discounts to continue for TEFA families. Church-run schools may also qualify for the Edu Fund partner scholarship, which has no income cap.

Questions to ask this school

2. What is tuition for my child's grade, and which fees (registration, books, technology, uniforms, lunch) can be paid from the TEFA account?
3. Which discounts do you offer (sibling, church member, employee), and what need-based aid is available 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 IEP settings and diagnoses do you have room for right now? Do you bill on-campus therapies as school fees?
