Founded in 1966, The Village School initially served 100 students, aged three through five. In 1973, Ms. Betty Moore acquired the school and set forth the school’s original mission to “foster excellence through knowledge, character, and integrity," a guiding legacy that continues to shape the school's character and purpose.

In 1981, The Village School outgrew its facility. In order to meet the increasing demand, we moved to a larger campus on Memorial Drive. By 1983, however, the program had expanded to include students from pre-school through grade 4. We then relocated to our current campus on Westella Drive.

In 1984, the first of three new buildings opened, providing space for 25 classrooms, a gymnasium, a stage, a computer room, a music room and a library. The school also added grade 5 and increased our enrollment to nearly 400 students. Grade 6 was added in 1988.

The Village School continued to expand throughout the 1990s, adding grade 7 in 1991 and graduating its first 8th grade class in 1993.

In 2006, The Village School celebrated its 40th anniversary of academic excellence and joined the Meritas Family of Schools.

2008 proved to be another defining year in the school’s history. Under the leadership of President Jonathan Silver, The Village School opened its high school program, with more than 50 pioneering 9th graders. With each subsequent year, an additional grade will be added, reaching grade 12 in the fall of 2011.

Today, The Village School rests on more than 12 acres in a residential area of West Houston. The campus consists of more than 70,000 square-feet of facilities dedicated to the pre-kindergarten through grade 8 program, and nearly 50,000 square-feet dedicated to the high school program. In addition, the school has acquired nearly 8 acres of land for future development that also presently offers facility with over 30,000 square-feet.

Our community of students from 40 nations shares a commitment to uncommonly high levels of achievement. Our dedicated and caring faculty and staff continue to prepare students for future success at the most prestigious colleges and universities throughout the world.

We are fully-accredited by the Texas Association of Accredited Private Schools (TAAPS).

As The Village School grows, we seek individuals with demonstrated experience, a commitment to excellence, and a willingness to embrace the school's mission and values.

We look for teachers who do not simply provide superior instruction; they lead, inspire, and excite. They have been chosen because of their passion for the job and their ability to relate to students in a loving, supportive manner. They find true delight in teaching and are committed to awakening the natural curiosity in young minds.


Our affiliation with the Meritas family of schools creates opportunities for professional enrichment, and keeps us on the leading edge of education research and practices.
Village High School is continuing to expand its program into the 11th grade for 2010/2011 with the anticipated curriculum addition of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Therefore, candidates with prior IB experience will receive special consideration.
