Texas Senate Bill 2 created the Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) program, launching for the 2026–27 school year. Families across the state are searching for private schools — and many will land at yours. That’s a real opportunity, but it comes with real operational pressure.

The challenge

Growth is exciting. Manual processes aren't.

When new families find your school, your admin load multiplies fast. Spreadsheets and paper forms don’t scale.

Application overload

New inquiries and enrollment applications spike with no central place to manage them.

Tuition tracking headaches

More students means more billing cycles, payment plans, and overdue balances to chase down.

Parent communication gaps

Families new to private school have lots of questions — and no good system to answer them at scale.

How PraxiSchool helps

Built for schools just like yours

PraxiSchool is a school management system purpose-built for private K–12 and trade schools — not a watered-down enterprise platform.

Track prospects, applications, and new student onboarding from a single dashboard. Never lose a lead in your inbox again.

02 — Tuition billing & payment tracking

04 — Parent & family communication

Send announcements, respond to inquiries, and keep families informed via email and SMS from inside the platform.

05 — Reports & data exports

Generate enrollment reports, attendance summaries, and financial snapshots in minutes, not hours.

Pricing

Priced for small schools, not enterprises

One simple rate. No hidden modules. No per-feature add-ons.

$1.45 per student / month (100-student minimum).

Example — a 150-student school: $218/month ($2,610/year), which works out to $17.40 per student per year — a fraction of one $10,474 TEFA award. In fact, one new TEFA student covers about 48 months of PraxiSchool for your school.
