Student eligibility requirements are determined by Texas state laws, the Texas Education Agency, and TEXAS Virtual Schools. Before enrolling, review the following eligibility requirements carefully to determine whether your student(s) is eligible to participate in this program.
You must reside within the state of Texas and provide one of the following documents as proof of residency to be eligible for enrollment.
Gas, electric, or water bill from the last 60 days that includes your name and service address
Mortgage statement from the last 60 days or annual lease agreement

Parents must provide an official document showing proof of age. To avoid delays, provide a copy of the birth certificate along with your enrollment documents.
All students must provide evidence of their immunizations on either a state of Texas official immunization form, an official school record, a healthcare provider or Health Department printout, or an immunization booklet with all doses stamped or signed. These forms must be stamped or signed by a healthcare provider. Texas allows for medical, personal, or religious exemptions. Medical exemptions must be signed by a health care provider. Parents seeking exemption from immunizations for personal or religious reasons must request a vaccine exemption affidavit form in writing by mail, fax (512-458-7544), or via a secure online request form from the Department of State Health Services, Immunization Branch.

A copy of the enrolling parent/guardian’s government-issued photo identification card which includes the parent/guardian’s name and date of birth (e.g. driver’s license, state ID) must be submitted along with your enrollment documents.

For SY 24-25, we are not accepting any new seniors and no students over the age of 18.
