Does Clara Mohammed School accept the Education Freedom Scholarship?
No. Clara Mohammed School holds Category V approval, and Tennessee's Education Freedom Scholarship can only pay registered Category I, II or III schools.
Families here usually rely on the school's member rates and aid; a student with an eligible IEP can use the IEA, which accepts Category IV and V schools.
Can a Metro Nashville ESA student use funds at Clara Mohammed School?
Not at present. Clara Mohammed School is not on TDOE's Middle Tennessee ESA list updated September 24, 2026, so ESA funds cannot be used here unless the school is approved later.
Because the school is in Davidson County, ask whether it has applied; ESA approval is separate from EFS registration.

What should parents ask Clara Mohammed School about cost and aid?
Start with the questions the state records cannot answer:
- Does the school hold, or plan to seek, a Category I, II or III approval that would let it register for EFS?
- What is tuition for my child's grade, and which fees fall outside it?
- What need-based aid, sibling discount or church-member rate applies after the state award?
- Does the school's aid application require us to apply for EFS or ESA first?
