If you are looking for a private, independent school designed specifically for boys, take some time to look into Western Academy. Located on the west of Houston, this school encourages a passion for learning, faith, and leadership.
The school teaches grades 3-8, with a traditional liberal arts curriculum, while also including some modern advancement in the classroom. Students are challenged academically, motivated to ask “how” and “why.”
Following traditional English schools, the students are divided into 4 houses of virtue, encouraging camaraderie, family, and healthy rivalries. Competitions include chess matches, athletics, poetry competitions, and more.
Classes are small; no more than 20 students to a teacher, to give each student personal mentoring. Western Academy also takes advantage of being located in a wooded area, with interactive learning outside using wood forts, games, or simply reciting poems underneath a tree. There are 3 recesses a day, a short one in the morning, a longer one after lunch, and a third recess for silent reading and writing.
For a school that truly embraces boys’ natural need for adventure and freedom, while teaching them the value of education and morals, Western Academy may be the place for your son. Visit the link below for more information on their academic program and admissions process!
