In Austin, private schools accepting vouchers span the metro and include campuses from Llano to La Grange. The schools accepting vouchers include Montessori campuses, the AI-driven Alpha School, the dyslexia specialized Rawson Saunders School, the Spanish immersion Magellan International School and the elite St. Michael’s Catholic Preparatory School. Schools offering prekindergarten are also on the list.
Parents can also apply the voucher to a handful of online-only schools.
Approved by lawmakers in 2025, the program allows an approved school to accept funds from a family’s voucher for a child’s educational costs. A student can receive a voucher of up to about $10,500 toward private school tuition per year. Students receiving special education can get up to $30,000. Homeschooled students can receive up to $2,000 for tutoring, materials or other costs.
The state comptroller, which oversees the program, is still approving schools on a rolling basis.
