Does Faith Heritage Christian Academy take the Education Freedom Scholarship?
Not in 2026-27. Faith Heritage Christian Academy holds Category II, IV approval, which allows it to register, but it is not on the registered list TDOE updated August 24, 2026. Registration for 2027-28 is open November 16, 2026 through April 30, 2027, so ask the school whether it plans to join.
Until it does, the school's own aid, MOST (for Shelby County partner schools), the 2027 federal tax-credit scholarship and, with an IEP, the IEA are the routes left.
Can an MSCS-zone ESA student use the account at Faith Heritage Christian Academy?
Not right now. Faith Heritage Christian Academy is not on the West Tennessee ESA list updated September 24, 2026, so ESA money cannot be spent here unless TDOE approves the school later.
ESA approval is separate from EFS registration, so it is worth asking whether the school has applied.
