Score Academy Online is a state-approved provider for the New Hampshire Education Freedom Account program. Cognia-accredited, NCAA-approved courses, live teachers, grades K through 12. Families submit expenses through ClassWallet. The Children’s Scholarship Fund of New Hampshire administers the program on behalf of the state.
The EFA is New Hampshire’s school choice program, created by RSA 194-F. The state routes per-student education funds into a parent-controlled account. You spend them at an approved private or online school, including Score Academy Online, plus other qualified education expenses.
New Hampshire launched the EFA program in 2021. For the 2024-25 school year, more than 5,600 students used EFAs to attend private schools, take online courses, or supplement other learning programs. The program is administered on behalf of the state by the Children’s Scholarship Fund of New Hampshire (CSF-NH), and funds flow through ClassWallet, the same payment platform used by several other state ESA programs.
Governor Kelly Ayotte signed SB 295 on June 10, 2025, which removed the previous 350% of federal poverty level income cap and made the program universal. Enrollment is capped at 10,000 students for 2025-26 and beyond, with an automatic 25% increase when applications exceed 90% of the limit.
EFA grants are tied directly to the state’s public school funding formula. Each grant combines a base adequacy amount with any differentiated aid the student would have generated for their public school district.
Score Academy Online is a Cognia-accredited online private school designed to give students live teacher instruction, small class sizes, and a full K-12 college-ready curriculum. All of it eligible for New Hampshire EFA funds.
Score Academy Online holds full accreditation from Cognia (formerly AdvancED) and SACS CASI. Recognized accreditation is a baseline requirement for approved EFA providers offering nonpublic education.
Every class is taught live by a credentialed subject specialist. Students join scheduled sessions on video, ask questions in real time, and work through material with teachers who know them by name.
Standards-aligned coursework for every grade, plus Honors and AP-track courses at the high school level. All courses are NCAA-approved for student athletes targeting Division I and II programs.
Score Academy Online accepts ClassWallet tuition payments, so your EFA funds go straight to your child’s tuition without out-of-pocket outlay for eligible students.
Three learning packages let families choose the pace and structure that fits their child. Fully live synchronous instruction, flex with recorded lessons and teacher chat, or fully self-paced asynchronous courses.
Our admissions team works with EFA-funded families and handles the Score Academy Online enrollment side while you work through the CSF-NH application. We provide the vendor details you need for ClassWallet.
Most New Hampshire families complete the CSF-NH application and school enrollment in parallel. Our admissions team walks you through the Score Academy Online side, so the paperwork gets done once and your child starts school on schedule.
Your child must be a New Hampshire resident, eligible to enroll in a public school, and not enrolled full-time in a public or charter school for the school year. You will need:
Applications for the 2026-27 school year are open. Submit one application per family through the CSF-NH parent portal.
Upload all supporting documents. Your application is not eligible for a grant award until CSF-NH has received and verified every document.
Open the CSF-NH parent portal →Once your application is approved and your EFA grant is funded, log into ClassWallet and select Score Academy Online as your education provider.
Our admissions team will give you the Score Academy Online vendor details and run your school enrollment in parallel with the EFA application.
Submit tuition payments through ClassWallet. CSF-NH verifies the expense and releases funds from your EFA account directly to Score Academy Online.
Unused balances roll over year to year and can be applied to tutoring, curriculum, therapies, and other approved EFA expenses.
New Hampshire families can apply EFA funds to any of our three learning packages. Pricing below is per course, so families can scale tuition to match their child’s full course load and their EFA award amount.
For students who want maximum schedule flexibility. Pre-recorded lessons, automated assessments, and independent coursework. No live classes or teacher chat.
Our most comprehensive package. Live scheduled classes in small groups, direct teacher access, and full progress reporting. The closest experience to a private school classroom, online.
A middle path. Students access the full Score Academy Online curriculum through recorded lessons and can message teachers directly for support. Larger group sizes for students who prefer a more independent rhythm with teacher access.
Pricing is per course. A typical full-time student takes 6 to 8 courses per year. New Hampshire EFA awards often cover a portion of full-time tuition, so many families pair EFA funds with a scaled course load or other funding. Work with our admissions team to build the plan that fits your child and your award.
Every New Hampshire K-12 student eligible to enroll in a public elementary or secondary school can apply. In June 2025, Governor Kelly Ayotte signed SB 295, which removed the previous 350% federal poverty level income cap and made the program universal. To qualify, the student and parent or guardian must be New Hampshire residents, and the student cannot be enrolled full-time in a local district public school or a charter school for the school year in which they use the EFA.
Each EFA grant has two components. The base adequacy grant is tied to the state’s primary school funding formula and was set at a minimum of $4,265.64 per student for the 2025-26 school year. On top of that, students who qualify for differentiated aid categories (free or reduced-price lunch, IEP, English language learner status, and others) receive additional amounts. For 2024-25, the program-wide average award was approximately $5,204. Projections for the newly eligible universal population estimate the average at approximately $4,419.
Yes. The program is capped at 10,000 students for the 2025-26 fiscal year and beyond. The cap automatically increases by 25% in any year when applications exceed 90% of the limit. If applications exceed the cap, priority goes to current EFA recipients, siblings of current recipients, children with disabilities as defined by RSA 186-C:2, and families at or below 350% of the federal poverty level. Other applicants may be placed on a waiting list.
Yes. New Hampshire EFA funds explicitly cover tuition at private schools and approved online learning programs. Score Academy Online is a Cognia-accredited, NCAA-approved online private school and an approved EFA provider for New Hampshire families. All three Score Academy Online learning packages (Synchronous, Flex, Asynchronous) accept EFA funding.
Apply through the Children’s Scholarship Fund of New Hampshire (CSF-NH) parent portal at nhefa.scholarshipfund.org. Create an account, upload required documents (proof of New Hampshire residency, proof of the student’s age and grade, and parent or guardian photo ID), and submit your application. Applications for the 2026-27 school year are currently open. Only submit one application per family, since multiple applications can delay processing.
CSF-NH administers EFA funds through the ClassWallet platform, the same payment system used by several other state ESA programs. Once your application is approved and verified, your grant is funded and you submit expenses (such as Score Academy Online tuition) through ClassWallet. CSF-NH verifies each expense and releases funds directly to the approved provider.
No. Students who attend their local district public school or a charter school full-time for the school year are not eligible to receive an EFA. The EFA is intended as an alternative to public school enrollment. Students can re-enroll in public school in a later school year but cannot hold both at the same time.
Yes, but you must formally terminate your home education program under RSA 193-A in accordance with NHED rule Ed 315.06 before enrolling in the EFA program. This is an important distinction: EFA participation is a different status from home education, and you cannot be in both programs at the same time. CSF-NH can provide the specific form required for termination.
Approved EFA expenses include: private and online school tuition and fees, tutoring services, curriculum and textbooks, educational therapies, standardized testing fees, educational supplies, and approved educational technology. Families submit expenses through ClassWallet for verification. Non-educational purchases and cash withdrawals are not permitted.
Yes. Score Academy Online is a state-approved provider for the New Hampshire Education Freedom Account program. New Hampshire families can use their EFA funds to pay Score Academy Online tuition directly through ClassWallet. Score Academy Online holds full Cognia and SACS CASI accreditation and offers NCAA-approved coursework for students in grades K through 12. Contact our admissions team for the vendor details you will need in ClassWallet.
Unused EFA funds roll forward to the next school year, as long as your child remains enrolled in the program. This allows families to apply remaining funds to future tuition, testing, tutoring, or other approved expenses. If a student exits the EFA program, any remaining funds return to the state.
Our admissions team works with EFA-funded families every week. Once your application is approved by CSF-NH, we handle your Score Academy Online enrollment and give you the ClassWallet vendor details to direct your funds to tuition.
