As a private school focused on inspiring students to love, learn, and lead, The Branch School instills a drive toward discovery, intellectual resilience, and leadership ability across our preschool, elementary, and middle school program. All of our students, preschool through grade 8, experience hands-on, project-based learning with a Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Math (STEAM) focus. This hands-on, project-based STEAM program makes Branch students deeper thinkers and more enthusiastic learners, laying an important early foundation of scientific knowledge and technological know-how. Our challenging academics and collaborative learning opportunities help each student develop critical-thinking capacities, creative problem-solving skills, and a lifelong love of learning – making us one of the best private schools in Houston.
We encourage you to schedule a tour to come learn more and see our beautiful campus. We look forward to meeting you!
The Branch School is a small school, but my transition into a larger high school was easy.

My son is a year ahead in math in the accelerated curriculum, so there’s no comparison between where he is here and where he’d be in a public setting.
Parent
The academics are excellent, but the kids also enjoy learning and have fun. They like coming to school.
Parent
I want our students to be better than they thought they could be. Success means they’ve grown, and we believe everyone can be successful.

"But academic accomplishment is but one aspect of a successful life. A well-rounded education, we believe, includes more than a STEM-infused curriculum, opportunities to hone public speaking skills, and engaged, project-based learning. The truly educated person understands himself in the context of others and embraces the notion that colleagues, classmates, and friends have worthwhile ideas too..."
