I/we HATE this school NOW!…read more Why??? Because even as I write this today 7/26/26 our precious baby girl is still dealing There were some KIND teachers though and they are Mr Ray Hundl, Ms Fletcher, and Coach H to name a few(these were the stand outs in our opinion and we highly appreciated their kindness). So to the parents who are considering enrolling their children at Grace, just a little free advice, save your $28 grand here and maybe consider spending your money at The Village School! Even though the school year hasn't started we have gone to The Village School many times(where we have enrolled our precious baby girl) and so far we are tremendously IMPRESSED! Heck, last week we attended 3 different sessions about how the school operates and in the very first session there was a topic discussed on how they expect KINDNESS for other students! Grace should definitely practice this and even teach this in their classrooms! Sincerely yours, GWS

The staff is super nice and friendly. My son got a lot of help from Dr Valdes and teachers.read more

My daughter came to this school as an international student from Vietnam and found out this school…read moreis for special educations which is for students with special needs. The owner is advertising this school in US and Vietnam as regular school for all students including international. By mixing regular and special needs student, they are harming all students. My daughter was depressed with the school environment and we had to move her to a difference school. This school was registered as "Special Education", why it is advertised as regular school, it is completely wrong and needs to be investigated. Please check this school before registering your kid here.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Ms. Elena Morales and Smaller Scholars Montessori Academy !…read more Our son has been at the school since he was just 18 months old, and this place has truly become a second home for our family. As he now prepares to start elementary here, we reflect with deep gratitude on the impact Ms. Elena has had on his journey. Ms. Elena's dedication, warmth, and the thoughtful application of Montessori principles have been transformational. Thanks to her care and guidance, our son is not only well-prepared to start Elementary but he has also grown into a more confident, independent, and kind-hearted little boy. She has nurtured his curiosity, encouraged his growth, and helped shape the values he will carry with him into this next chapter. Thank you Smaller Scholars for everything you've done for our son and to Ms Elena for all the children lucky enough to be in your classroom. -- The Iannone Family

Great school and great community! We love the school and our daughter has flourished here. Any…read morequestions or concerns are always addressed immediately. I love that all the teachers know all the students name in the school regardless if they are in that class or not. Couldn't be happier with our decision to send our toddler here!

My experience with this school was extremely disappointing. The values and mission promoted on the…read moreschool's website did not match what I observed during my time there. The educational program lacked rigor and failed to provide the level of academic challenge and support that students deserve. I was particularly concerned by what appeared to be a greater focus on financial gain than on student development and educational excellence. Rather than fostering a positive learning environment centered on student success, many decisions seemed driven by business interests. Communication was often lacking, and concerns raised by families were not addressed in a meaningful way. The overall atmosphere did not reflect the professionalism, integrity, or commitment to education that the school publicly advertises. Based on my experience, I would encourage prospective families to thoroughly research the school, ask detailed questions about academic expectations, and speak with current and former families before making a decision.

I'm a 13-year-old student at Memorial Private School in Houston, and because it's a small school,…read moreit's easy to get to know people quickly and feel comfortable from the start. Academically, there's a strong focus on **memorization**, but in some subjects we also do **projects**, which adds some variety. We usually take **five classes**, so when exams come around it feels **more manageable** to plan your studying, since you're balancing fewer subjects at the same time. Even though the school is small, the **6th period (electives)** has a nice range of options, including creative classes and sports like **martial arts** or **pickleball**. One thing I would improve is **Spanish**: if you already speak it, the class can end up being mostly **tests**, and you don't always get the chance to work on material that actually helps you improve.

This school is mediocre, at best. The teachers seem fantastic, too much so. They enable lazy kids…read moreto remain lazy. An anonymous child in my family attends this school....it was the only school left for him since he failed out of a fancy private school and a magnet school and his mom refuses to put him in the school he's zoned to in HISD. He regularly submits blank documents and is given the option to redo assignments...all the way til the end of the semester! This is a child with no learning disabilities, that is gifted. He could read at a high school level in lower elementary and passes state testing easily. He just hates to write and he hates to do something outside of computer games. The teachers seem dedicated and caring,..but to the point of stunting maturity and growth in a child fully capable of easily passing school- if he chose to!

My daughter is now in her 4th year at St. Thomas - and over those years I have come to know several…read moreof the faculty and parents, including the headmaster, Michael Cusack. They truly have my respect, not only as teachers.. but as thinkers, innovators, and leaders in education. The curriculum is challenging and encourages an understanding of the liberal arts and sciences, balanced by the values of forgiveness, love, and understanding deeply rooted in Christian belief systems. Their Scottish Arts program is unbelievable to see and I am constantly amazed at the artistic abilities of the students who have been encouraged over the years by the school. My daughter, who deals with sensory issues that affect her learning, has always been treated with the utmost respect and has been encouraged to embrace new ideas while being challenged by proven methods of teaching that instill an understanding of the world around her while teaching her to effectively communicate those ideas. I am not an alumni and I was only aware of the school through long time friends. But, having faced the challenges of the current public school system with our oldest child, my wife and I came to believe that a private school was our only acceptable option for our youngest child (and any future children). We explored several private schools in Houston and decided on St. Thomas' based on a tour of the school and talking with faculty and others who knew of or had experienced the school. Also, I believe that the tuition is quite reasonable compared with other private schools in Houston that we considered. We intend to keep our 8 year old at St. Thomas' through 12th grade and we plan to send our 3 year old there as well when she reaches school age. I would also encourage any parents considering a private school education to meet with Mr. Cusack and the faculty and see it for yourself. I believe that you will like what you see.

The teachers are awesome and the administration is very helpful. They also have a Scottish Arts program which is excellent. The band is full of bagpipers and drums.
