Overview

Founded in 2000, The Woodlands Preparatory School is a nonsectarian college preparatory day school enrolling a total of 335 girls and boys in grades kindergarten through twelfth grade. The school sits in the heart of The Woodlands, Texas, which has become a very international community serving families of executives in companies related to the oil and gas industries. With this in mind, Woodlands Prep School places an emphasis on math and science, and after six graduating classes, we have noted the trend to be more than 50% of our graduates enter a technical field, such as engineering, in their first year of college. The Woodlands continues to grow residentially and commercially as many companies move to the area. Serving a very affluent clientele provides some wonderful benefits, though it also serves to challenge the school. Due to corporate relocation, students enter and exit the school at varying times throughout the year and come from countries and systems all over the world providing teachers with the challenges of ensuring that curricular gaps are assessed including those faced by our many non-native English speakers. The international population, however, also offers a unique perspective in class discussions providing all of our students with a more comprehensive outlook of the world in which they live.
