Texas is releasing up to $30,000 in education vouchers for the 2026–2027 school year.
Families can use these funds to reduce the cost of Ascend Rising Academy, a new accredited K–12 private school in Austin built for neurodivergent learners.
If your child melts down after school, dreads class, or is bored and overlooked, the problem isn’t your child. It’s the environment. Ascend Rising Academy was built for students who don’t fit the “sit still, stay quiet, keep up” model.
At Ascend Rising Academy, students get:
Very small classes so they are seen, heard, and known.
Individualized learning plans that adapt to their pace and strengths.
A calm, structured, sensory-aware environment.
Daily leadership and life skills training woven into academics.
Parents can apply Texas education vouchers (up to $30,000) toward tuition, significantly reducing the cost of a specialized, neurodiversity-affirming education.
