Educational Options in Texas
Scholarship Programs:
Currently there are no scholarship or voucher programs serving Texas parents.
Charter and Magnet Schools:
Texas Charter Schools
Charter schools are publicly funded schools that are exempt from certain state mandates, but held accountable to other bodies. They are tuition-free, like traditional public schools, but often offer special programs (such as an intensive language-learning program) that public schools do not.

Texas Magnet Schools
Magnet schools are public schools that offer a specialized curriculum, whether it be in science, the performing arts, or engineering, amongst other subjects. Unlike charter schools, which are independent from local school boards, magnet schools are held accountable to their local school districts.
