What Is the Arkansas LEARNS Act Education Freedom Account?
The Arkansas LEARNS Act, signed into law in 2023, established the Education Freedom Account (EFA) program — Arkansas's version of an Education Savings Account. The EFA gives eligible families access to roughly 90% of the state's per-pupil foundation funding (around $6,800–$7,000 per student) to spend on a wide range of approved educational expenses.
EFA funds can be used for private school tuition, homeschool curriculum, online learning platforms, tutoring, required uniforms, testing fees, therapies, and more. The program is managed through the ClassWallet platform, where families track their balance and pay approved vendors directly.
Eligibility expanded in phases — starting with students with disabilities, foster youth, kindergartners, and families zoned to F-rated schools — and reached universal K–12 eligibility in the 2025–26 school year. This guide walks you through how Arkansas ESA Funds work, what you can spend them on, and how to find curriculum that qualifies for reimbursement.

Step by Step
How to Use Arkansas Education Freedom Account Funds
Follow these five steps to put your Arkansas ESA funds to work on your child's homeschool education.
1
Log into your ClassWallet account
Arkansas EFA funds are managed through ClassWallet. Sign in to view your account balance, browse approved vendors, and track every Education Freedom Account purchase in one place.
2
Check approved expense categories
Review the LEARNS Act EFA-approved categories — including curriculum, tutoring, online learning, testing, and therapies — to confirm the resource you want to buy is covered before you spend.
3
Choose an EFA-eligible provider or curriculum
Search for an approved vendor or curriculum publisher in the ClassWallet marketplace. Look for structured, standards-aligned materials designed for your child’s age and grade level.
4
Pay direct or submit for reimbursement
For most curriculum and approved digital resources you can pay vendors directly through ClassWallet. For other approved expenses you may need to pay upfront and request reimbursement from your EFA.
5
Keep receipts and records for compliance
Save invoices, receipts, and order confirmations. Arkansas requires families to maintain documentation showing Education Freedom Account funds were spent on approved educational expenses.
Important Reminder
Always confirm the latest Arkansas LEARNS Act EFA guidelines and ClassWallet vendor list before each purchase. Approved categories, funding amounts, and rules can change between school years.
