Great school! Teachers and students engaged and enjoying school! The parents are involved and supportive.

I have worked here for three years. Although I have been a part of several private schools in the Houston area, this one is my favorite. I have the rare opportunity to be in all the classrooms at least a couple times a week. (I am social media coordinator for the school.) I am always amazed at the creativity of our teachers. The students don't just exist- they thrive. The community is second to none. I love this school!!

I am a Holy Spirit Episcopal School alumna and a current Rice University student. I attended HSES from Primary 3 through my 8th grade year. HSES is an amazing school with so much to offer. Over the years, HSES brought me countless friends, encouragement and support from teachers, opportunities to expand my learning experience outside the classroom (through the Outdoor Education Program, Ecolink, as well as the Costa Rica Exchange Program), and the chance to grow in my faith. Holy Spirit has always felt like my home and my peers and teachers, still today, have always felt like my family. I love going back for the HSES Annual Homecoming basketball games, reuniting with other alumni, and visiting with all of my former teachers. HSES is a great school and I would recommend it to anyone.

This is a fantastic school that sets itself apart from all others in so many ways. The international community, small class size, academics, and inclusiveness are just a few wonderful things to say about this school. My children would not be who they are today without Holy Spirit.

Great school! My son's transitioning to Middle school last year was such a positive experience. Very welcoming environment, great faculty.

DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE. It will be the worst decision you make for your child's future. I attended middle school here, and after mine, and many other's terrible experiences here I am surprised this school is still in existence. Not only does the education not prepare you for ANY high school, but you will likely be far behind your peers when you do attend whatever institution you choose. In terms of socialization, this school is filled with incredibly strange kids who really don't know how to socialize, which only hurts them more when entering high school. You are also very much secluded from realistic situations because the school is so small and poorly operated. The teachers, for the most part, are absolutely worthless. They are just in it for money and don't care about your child's education. They'll give him or her whatever grade they need to get in to whatever high school they need, without actually preparing them. Overall, there wasn't a single positive part of my experience at Holy Spirit and I can name many people (including the only other person who reviewed this school) that feel the same way.

My children and grand children have gone to school here. The scholastic education is excellent, the teachers are caring, the students are well behaved and happy. The current administration is strong and moving the school in a very positive direction.

This is an amazing school that surrounds its students with individual care and attention. We are so grateful for this nurturing school!

I don't believe I can review this place! As a former student, I can tell you that it's not worth the money or mental torment. Your child will be bullied, the teachers don't give a care and will especially turn a blind eye on the more well-endowed students. Did you know that MY coach was actually a pedophile? A friend of mine even came forward about how he had been coaxed to go to his house to "play". Lots of boys (then teens) came forward and it was a huge mess. Don't go to this hole.

Early Childhood (3 months - 36 months)

Infants, Toddlers and Twos

Infants (3 to 11 months)

The focus is placed on a consistent and loving responsiveness to each infant’s physical, emotional, and developmental needs. Activities in the infant rooms include multi-sensory stimulation, gross and fine motor skill development, and exploratory play.

Toddlers (11 to 18 months)

Little ones in this age group are very busy learning about mobility through walking and running. The development goals in these classrooms are the encouragement of self-feeding, awareness of others, and basic vocalization skills. The classroom environment is rich with possibilities to explore through music, play, storytelling, and outdoor activities.

Twos (18 to 36 months)

Group and individual activities in the toddler classrooms center around the expansion of the children’s verbal and non-verbal communication skills, as they learn to interact with their peers in a more structured environment. Reading, art, music, and outdoor play are all a part of the toddlers’ cognitive, physical, and emotional development.

Engaging, inspiring education for infants through 8th grade in the heart of West Houston.
