Funding fit for Corpus Christi Catholic School
Corpus Christi Catholic School appears in the Texas Comptroller's TEFA participating-school finder (checked October 9, 2026). A Houston-area student who holds a Texas Education Freedom Account can use it here. For 2026-27 that is $10,474 per student, deposited 25% on July 1, 25% on October 1 and 50% on February 1, and paid to the school through the Odyssey platform. To participate, a school must be accredited by a TEPSAC-recognized organization or TEA, have operated at least two school years, and give an annual norm-referenced test in grades 3-12.
The school also serves pre-K. TEFA pays the full award for eligible 3- and 4-year-olds whose families meet the free public pre-K criteria (income, English learner, military, foster care and similar). Kindergarten eligibility is broader, so a child can stay at the same school.
As a Catholic school, it may offer Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston tuition assistance (applied through FACTS) and parishioner rates on top of TEFA. Under the state's guidelines, those discounts continue for TEFA families.
