Classical education in Fort Worth and how families pay for it

Fort Worth-area families can choose among several classical schools, from a K-12 classical Christian school on the west side to a classical Catholic high school near the Cultural District. Most of them take TEFA.

Covenant Classical School

A non-denominational classical Christian school on Fort Worth's west side serving kindergarten through grade 12. It reported 502 students to the federal survey and is in the TEFA finder.

The newer classical schools

Legacy Classical Christian Academy in Haslet, Grace Classical Christian Academy in Granbury and Messiah Lutheran Classical Academy in Keller are all in the finder. Chesterton Academy of Fort Worth brings the classical model to a Catholic high school.

Not in the finder

St. Peter's Classical School in southwest Fort Worth reported 76 students to the federal survey but wasn't in the TEFA finder when we checked.

What it costs against the award

Ask each school for its tuition by grade. Where a grammar-stage year costs less than the $10,474 award, the unspent balance stays in the account and can help with the rhetoric-stage years later.

Classical at home

Many Tarrant County families run classical programs at home or through co-ops. The $2,000 homeschool account covers curriculum, approved tutoring and testing, and Latin or logic courses from approved online vendors.
