New School in the Heights, Houston:
Located in the Houston Heights area just north of Downtown Houston TX, The New School in the Heights is a private, special needs school for K-8th Grade children with ADHD, OCD, Asperger's, learning disabilities, Dyslexia, Sensory Integration, selective mutism, reactive attachment disorder (RAD) and other diagnoses where children struggle with social-emotional issues. Although we are not exclusively a school for gifted children, many of our students are gifted and talented as G/T children tend to struggle with emotions they have not yet learned to manage. Our goal is for all of our students to return to mainstream education.

Why Choose New School in the Heights?


- Small Teacher : Pupil Ratio
As a private, special needs school in Houston, Texas, NSH offers a teacher: pupil ratio not to exceed 1:6. Students are instructed according to their academic levels, not an artificial grade designation.

- Making Learning a Motivation
Our philosophy is to make learning itself the motivation for succeeding in school, so special classes, such as Robotics, Newspaper and a school wide Math Olympics, are offered.

- A Safe Place for Children
Children who need a safe place from teasing, who are working through adoption issues, are gifted and talented, or who have a variety of diagnoses that interfere with their ability to succeed in school and social situations are helped by our unique social-emotional curriculum. As a school for learning disabilities, we can help improve dyslexic children's self-esteem when it has been compromised by these conditions.
