EFA and Larson's Language Center
Larson's Language Center was not on the state's 2024-25 list of EFA participating schools, and it is not on the current list either. Schools can apply to participate each year, so ask whether it has applied. Until it does, an Education Freedom Account can't pay its tuition, though a homeschool or hybrid family may still use the account for other approved expenses.
In the federal Private School Survey (2021-22), the school reported 8 students, 1 full-time-equivalent teachers and a student-teacher ratio of about 8.0:1.
From kindergarten through grade 5, that's 6 school years. At the 2026-27 amount, a child who uses an account every year here would bring about $43,248 in state funding over that span. The amount is set each year, so treat this as a planning number. Pre-K years are not covered; the account starts at kindergarten.
Paying the balance
Church schools often offer member, sibling and staff discounts. Ask whether they still apply when part of the bill is paid from an EFA, and which fees (books, uniforms, technology) the school invoices through ClassWallet.

Questions to ask the school
- Have you applied to participate in the Education Freedom Account program?
- How do you bill EFA families: directly through ClassWallet each quarter, or do we pay and get reimbursed?
- What is the full cost for my child's grade, including registration, books, uniforms and fees, and what's left after the $7,208 account?
- Which discounts and aid apply on top of the account?
- Which nationally norm-referenced test do you give, and will you share my child's results?
- Do you have openings in pre-K, and does a pre-K seat carry into kindergarten, when the account starts?
