Tuition & Costs
Your child deserves a high-quality education you can trust — without the high cost. Texas students do not need to pay tuition to enroll in or attend Texas Online Academy (TXOA), an online public school for Texas residents in grades K–12.
Tuition-Free Online Public School
As an online public school, Texas Online Academy offers Texas state residents a tuition-free, high-quality academic choice for their public school education. TXOA is not a private school, nor are we a homeschool that requires parents to be teachers. TXOA is a tuition-free, online alternative to brick-and-mortar public schools, staffed with Texas-certified teachers who deliver instruction online.
Like our brick-and-mortar public school counterparts, some common household supplies are not provided and may need to be purchased by families to enhance their child’s online learning experience. Read below for more information about how online public schools like TXOA are funded and what costs families may expect for their child to attend an online public school.
