On February 12, 2025, Governor Lee signed the Education Freedom Act (EFA) into law, advancing school choice throughout Tennessee. The law allows eligible families to apply for one of 20,000 scholarships, each offering financial assistance around $7,000. The EFA promotes educational freedom by empowering families to make the best decisions for their children’s schooling.

Tennessee Christian has been following the progress of this law for several years. In 2019, the state launched the Tennessee Education Savings Account (ESA) program as a pilot in three counties. Tennessee Christian registered and was approved to participate in this program, helping the school better understand the state’s requirements in preparation for future program expansion.

Now, the EFA offers a statewide initiative to further support families with school choice.

As an independent school and stewards of God's mission for Tennessee Christian, we feel a deep responsibility to thoroughly evaluate any government assistance. Tennessee Christian will not accept any funding that would alter, change, or modify the mission and vision we are called to lead. In collaboration with Rep. Kevin Raper, the Leadership Team, and the Board of Trustees, we are carefully considering whether the EFA is the right fit for Tennessee Christian.

We certainly understand our families' sacrifices in pursuing private education for their children. Our Leadership Team is actively engaged in ongoing discussions about this new education bill, what it entails and Tennessee Christian’s possible participation.

Our primary concerns include:

1. The requirement for participating students to undergo national standardized testing through the EFA, though a list of approved testing materials has not yet been provided.
2. The obligation to report test results for participating students. Although the results are anonymous, Tennessee Christian needs more clarity on the specific reporting requirements.
3. The long-term sustainability of the EFA. Our administration and teachers are deeply committed to nurturing students from their early years through graduation. The lasting impact of this law on our school culture is an important factor in our assessment.

We remain committed to carefully evaluating the implications of the EFA to ensure it aligns with the best interests of our students and community.
Although we do not yet have a definitive answer, we anticipate providing updates as new information becomes available.

Tennessee Christian Preparatory School offers need-based tuition assistance to students whose performance indicates academic motivation as well as exemplary behavior and attendance.

Tuition Assistance is granted and continued only if funds are available and the following guidelines are met:

1. The parent/guardian must file a FACTS Student Aid Form in order to apply for need-based tuition assistance. Tuition Assistance is awarded for one school year only. A current FACTS form must be completed online. Required supplemental information for each new school year must be provided.
2. The parent/guardian must provide, along with the FACTS form, the most recent income tax return that was submitted to the IRS as well as a copy of a recent paycheck stub for every employed member of the family along with any other materials requested by FACTS.
3. The FACTS form must be submitted online.
4. The Tuition Assistance Committee will review the recommendation made by FACTS to determine the amount of assistance the applicant might be eligible to receive. A private meeting with the Tuition Assistance Committee may be requested to discuss further circumstances that could determine eligibility.
5. Need-based tuition assistance will not be provided to cover the cost of annual school fees. Enrollment, Technology, and other fees must be paid in full prior to receiving a tuition assistance.
6. The parent/guardian agrees to notify Tennessee Christian Preparatory School of financial changes that significantly improve the level of the family income.
7. Tuition Assistance will not be offered in exchange for goods or services.
