A Charter Education
Charter schools are public schools! They are designed as complements to traditional independent school districts. Charters exist to serve students that, for whatever reason, aren’t thriving in a one-size-fits-all traditional public school. Charters are free and open to all, offering every child an opportunity for a great education. To learn more about us and our charter school status, click here.

As we wrap up the 2023-2024 school year, we reflect on a milestone that was nothing short of spectacular—our 25th anniversary! This year has been a remarkable journey, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who made it memorable, including over 2,100 faculty and staff who passionately served nearly 18,000 students across Houston.
