To identify, educate, and empower children who have language and learning differences.
Our Mission
Our Unique Approach
The Parish School is the only school in Houston, public or private, which offers a multi-age, language-based, developmental curriculum for children 18 months through fifth grade. Children served have communication and learning differences, but average to above average learning potential. These differences may include problems with speech/language, learning to read, focusing attention, visual motor areas, social skills, and auditory processing.
The Parish School utilizes a classroom based therapy program implemented by certified teachers and speech/language pathologists. Classroom ratios are low and treatment/education plans are individualized to maximize the success of each child. The state-of-the-art facilities include parent/therapist viewing areas, built in assisted listening devices, play and picnic areas, gardens and large, bright classrooms. The creative and visual arts play a large role in the academic program and incorporate the focus on expressive, receptive and pragmatic language skills while giving children a creative outlet in which to express themselves.
Individual therapies and testing including speech, occupational therapy, social skills groups and family therapy are available through our on site clinic, the Carruth Center.
Accreditation
The Parish School is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and licensed by The State of Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services. The school is a member of the Houston Coalition of Special Schools and Houston Association of Independent Schools.
