Montessori Schools in Inner Loop

5 montessori schools in Inner Loop, and 3 of them participate in TEFA ($10,474 per student in 2026-27). Houston's urban core — the Heights, Montrose, Midtown, the Museum District, the East End and Third Ward, with parish schools, Montessori programs and several of the city's oldest independent schools.

Verified against two public records. TEFA participation is checked against the Texas Education Freedom Accounts participating-school finder (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), retrieved October 9, 2026. Enrollment, teachers, religious orientation and associations come from the NCES Private School Survey (U.S. Department of Education) (2023-24, or 2021-22 where noted). Tuition is not reported to either — confirm it with the school.

Funding note: Many Montessori schools are PK-6. TEFA pays $10,474 for eligible pre-K, kindergarten and elementary students at participating schools.
