Questions parents ask
How many private schools are there near Garland?
We count 98 within 12 miles of downtown Garland. Together they enrolled about 18,119 students in the last federal survey (2023-24). The largest is The Hockaday School with 1,090 students.
Which Garland private schools take TEFA?
Texas shows approved schools only through its Vendor Finder; there is no downloadable list. Rather than guess, we do not mark Texas schools as participating. Check the official finder, then ask the school.
Will TEFA cover the whole tuition bill?
Sometimes, but do not count on it. TEFA pays about $10,000 per student, and schools set their own prices. Ask each school for tuition plus fees, then use the calculator on this page to see what is left for you to pay.
