Montessori Reggio Academy

Independent & Secular School serving grades PK-5 in Sugar Land (Sugar Land, Stafford & Missouri City). Participates in TEFA. Funding fit, public records and questions to ask are below.

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.

TEFA private-school award, 2026-27 — the same at every grade served here (PK-5)
$15,983 to $17,122
Typical TEFA total with an IEP for a Fort Bend ISD resident (resource/self-contained to mainstream codes)
$10,474
TEFA pre-K for eligible 3- and 4-year-olds (income, English learner, military and similar criteria)

Montessori Reggio Academy 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.

Independent schools set their own need-based aid. A school may weigh a TEFA award when it decides aid, but it may not charge a TEFA family a different tuition.
