Empowering Scholars Through Classical Education

Tuition-Free Pre K-5 Classical School

Classical Education Made Available to All

For generations, the classical education model has prepared children with the skills and character needed for life's challenges. At Houston Classical Charter School, we uphold this tradition in a modern setting by offering, a values-driven academic foundation, once exclusive to private schools, to every family in Southwest Houston.

Tuition-Free Program

Many private schools are returning to the classical model of instruction because it works. It works in schools across America, and it has worked throughout history. We offer the benefits of classical education in a tuition-free charter school setting. Our scholars develop a love of learning and grow in character at HCCS.

Rigorous Academics

Our balanced literacy approach is used by top-performing schools in the country to build strong readers. Comprehensive math instruction develops a foundation for practical application and understanding. Hands-on, tech-enhanced exploration brings science to life for learners. HCCS scholars stand tall in math, literacy, and science.

Character Formation

There is no true success without excellent character. Our core values are embedded into our language, curriculum, and daily routines to ensure scholars exhibit high levels of optimism, respect, excellence, and a connection to the community. Personal virtues make our scholars successful in the classroom, in their families, and in life.

My daughter is thriving! The structured learning environment lets her know what to expect and what is expected of her. We could not be happier.
