Does Concord Christian School accept the Education Freedom Scholarship?
Yes. Concord Christian School appears on the Tennessee Department of Education's 2026-27 Registered EFS Schools list, so a student with an Education Freedom Scholarship can put the $7,530 award toward tuition and fees here, and use any remainder on approved expenses.
The school draws the money from the family's EFS account in four projected installments (August, October, January and March), and the family approves tuition payments in the EFS portal.
Can a student with an IEP use the Tennessee IEA at Concord Christian School?
Possibly. Concord Christian School's Category II, III approval is one the Individualized Education Account accepts, so a student whose Tennessee IEP lists an eligible disability can use IEA funds here if the school agrees to participate. Schools can apply to the IEA program at any time of year.
The IEA usually pays more than EFS because it adds average special-education funding, and the 2027-28 window is projected to open February 16, 2027. Ask the school how it serves students with IEPs and what added support costs.
