TEXAS PROGRAMS FOR ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION

Texas Programs for Alternative Education is a Texas-based nonprofit corporation that holds the open-enrollment charter for Bridgeway Preparatory Academy and operates specialized K–12 programs serving students with learning disabilities. The organization was formed in 2015 and was granted its initial open-enrollment charter by the Texas State Board of Education on November 17, 2017.

The charter holder operates campuses in the Dallas–Fort Worth area (listed addresses include Farmers Branch / Carrollton) and focuses on individualized instruction, technology-supported learning, and wrap-around services for students with unique learning needs. The organization has maintained audited financial statements and filed Form 990 returns for recent fiscal years (including fiscal year end June 30, 2023 and FY 2024), and has been an active recipient of state charter oversight and competitive grant activity in recent years.

The organization remained an operating, donor-facing 501(c)(3) with a public website and recent Form 990 filings; however, the charter holder publicly sought permission to close its Bridgeway Preparatory Academy charter with an intended closure effective June 1, 2026, so prospective donors or partners should verify current operational status before giving or contracting.
