About

Non-profit teacher-Run
TexSEF is run by teachers. You'll get no edu-splaining here.
We have stakeholders, not shareholders. Our bottom line is what's best for kids.
Low Cost
The online leagues are low cost for schools (and public libraries) in Texas.
Tournaments, conferences, college fairs, we do in-person events like no other can.
