Do private schools in Texas need to be licensed?
Private educational facilities that are accredited by the Texas Education Agency, The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, or are member of the Texas Private School Accreditation Commission and that operate for educational purposes for prekindergarten and above may be exempt from regulation. Licensing can guide you in the Exemption Determination process and can review requirements for this educational exemption. The following programs may be part of the exemption: before or after-school programs operated by the accredited facility or some before or after-school programs operated by another entity under contract with the educational facility. Private schools need to obtain a permit from Licensing for any program or service that offers care for children under 3 years of age.
