EFA Provides Funds for Homeschooling and Private Schools

Every K–12 student in Arkansas is eligible for $7,000 per year through the Education Freedom Account (EFA) — a state-funded program designed to make education more flexible and accessible for families like yours.

Whether you’re considering private school, a microschool, or homeschooling, this program helps cover the cost. It’s real, approved by the state, and we’re here to guide you through it — for free
