The LEARNS Act Education Freedom Account (EFA) program offers eligible Arkansas families financial assistance for educational expenses, including virtual private schools like Williamsburg Academy Private School.

Administered by the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) and funded by state tax dollars, the program provides parents with flexibility in selecting educational options for their children. EFA funds are not considered taxable income for parents of qualified students.

The Arkansas EFA Program includes universal eligibility and is designed to enhance educational freedom for families. It offers flexible funding and a supportive application process.

The application window for EFA funds opens on March 3, 2025, and closes on August 1, 2025.

Apply early! Funds are distributed on a rolling, first-come, first-served basis. Submitting your application early helps secure funding for your preferred quarter and/or school year.

Online applications can be submitted through the Arkansas EFA portal, which is managed by the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE).

Application Review: Applications are reviewed on a rolling first-come, first-served basis until August 1 each year. After this date, applications will be considered based on available funding and scholarship capacity.

EFA funding is up to 90% of the state’s prior year per-student foundation amount.

EFA Program Capacity: The EFA program aims to fund approximately 39,600 participants by the 2025-2026 school year.

At Williamsburg, all students, including those using ESA funds, take the STAR assessment. These assessments help us provide the best academic support tailored to their needs.

If your state requires norm-referenced testing, the STAR assessment will satisfy that requirement.

When enrolling for the upcoming school year, you won’t be billed until July 15! You’ll receive four quarterly bills, carefully timed to align with your state’s funding dates—so you’ll never have to pay out of pocket!

For the All-Inclusive Package: On or after July 15, you’ll receive your first quarterly invoice of $1500 for your student’s tuition.

For Individual Courses: On or after July 15, you’ll receive your first invoice for your student’s tuition. The total will vary based on the number and types of courses you select. To estimate your invoice, simply divide your child’s tuition total by four.

Once your invoice is available, you’ll upload it to ClassWallet and manually initiate payment from there.
