How do I access a voucher for my student?

Vouchers are offered through Texas Education Freedom Accounts. More information about this program can be found on their website at https://educationfreedom.texas.gov/.

How do vouchers pay for tuition and fees?

TEFA funds are expected to begin disbursement according to the program’s website. Specific voucher questions should be directed to TEFA.

Each family is responsible for complete tuition and fee payments. All families must maintain an automated payment plan and continue making scheduled payments even if a voucher is expected but delayed. If direct family payments plus voucher funds exceed the annual tuition amount, VCA will refund the overpayment to the family once full-year tuition has been received.

Recommendations for Voucher Families: Families fully dependent on vouchers should select a 10-month payment plan with a 20th-of-the-month due date, allowing maximum time for voucher funds to arrive. All voucher families should familiarize themselves with the TEFA process.

Tuition and Billing Information

The stability of our school and the quality of its programs are of the utmost importance. We have partnered with Valor Global Online and Veracross to help us manage our tuition payment program and billing of incidentals. We are excited to be working with them and to provide a secure, convenient payment option for families.

You will realize these benefits by using our services for your tuition payment plan:

• Payment Dates: You may choose either the 5th or the 20th of each month as your payment date. Automatic payments can be made from a checking or savings account or from a variety of credit cards.

• Convenience & Security: Along with multiple payment methods, your payments are processed securely through a bank-to-bank transaction.

• Consumer Account: You may check your personal account or make payments online from the convenience of your home or office anytime.

• One of the universal challenges in education is achieving a balance between our educational mission and financial stability. We will work with families should special circumstances or hardship cases arise during the school year.

What if I need to withdraw my student?

Sometimes, circumstances are such that students need to leave after classes begin. This includes any withdrawal from the first day of school up to the final week of school. Students leaving VCA will be formally exited, and transcripts will be released.
