Independent & Secular Schools in The Woodlands & South Montgomery County
11 independent & secular schools in The Woodlands & South Montgomery County, and 5 of them participate in TEFA ($10,474 per student in 2026-27). The Woodlands, Oak Ridge North and Shenandoah — Conroe ISD families hold nearly 1,300 TEFA accounts.
Verified against two public records. TEFA participation is checked against the Texas Education Freedom Accounts participating-school finder (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), retrieved October 9, 2026. Enrollment, teachers, religious orientation and associations come from the NCES Private School Survey (U.S. Department of Education) (2023-24, or 2021-22 where noted). Tuition is not reported to either — confirm it with the school.
Funding note: TEFA is not limited to religious schools. The same $10,474 applies at any participating independent school.
