Ecologist School Houston is a secular microschool for PK3-5th grade students. The school is in a cozy setting with plenty of outdoor space for play and learning. Students enjoy PE, music, and yoga weekly! Students are broken up developmentally into 3 groups PK, K-2, and 3-5.
We engage in interest led project based learning using secular curriculums. Students have access to maker space and frequently engage in STEM challenges. Students have individualized 1:1 and small group instruction as well as whole group instruction.
We believe in family engagement and have frequent community activities and gatherings. We also strive to go on 3-4 field trips per semester.
School hours are Monday-Friday from 8:30-3:30. Before and after care is available for an additional fee.
Part time students generally attend a few half days or a couple of full days per week. Half days are 9-12 or 12-3.
We are neurodivergent friendly and have students with diverse backgrounds and abilities.

A typical week of an Ecologist School Day Program student will include a variety of activities. The week may start with a trip to the library, followed by a field trip to a local park to read their chosen books. Items collected on a nature walk may be cataloged using an online nature program. Volunteering may take place at a facility such as the Environmental Institute of Houston, and the week may end with a field trip to the Wolf Sanctuary. An emphasis is placed on spending time outdoors, unstructured play, and child led learning.
