Families elect to use EFA funds toward eligible expenses through the ClassWallet portal.

ClassWallet is a vendor that supports digital purchases and payments. ADE has contracted with ClassWallet for the 2023-2024 school year to fulfill Education Freedom Account payments. Participating parents must register an account on the ClassWallet portal, where they can then distribute account funds to their participating private school of choice. Parents can use ClassWallet’s marketplace feature to cover non-tuition eligible expenses (e.g., uniforms) from approved third-party providers.
