ABOUT MEMORIAL PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOL

MPHS accepts students in 7th - 12th Grades, and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. As such courses transfer to other accredited schools and universities. 

This is also a Texas Tech ISD Specialty School, providing each student who takes TTU courses full personalized instruction and full handling of all TTU administation and correspondence.

MPHS prepares each student with high quality, strong academics to achieve his or her best, for college and beyond. The school is in a stand-alone school building, surrounded by SBISD schools, and overlooking a neighborhood park.

Acceptance criteria is highly selective and custom for each family, especially given that the school is designed to retain its small, family atmosphere and warm environment.

Key differentiating factors are:

• Small teacher - student ratio of about 1 to 8 or less
• Experienced, highly nurturing staff
• Teachers degreed in their main subject area
• Strong academics and college prep
• Offers summer and night school
• Affordable prices
• Flexible schedules; year-round;
• Custom teaching for each child
• Best of academics combined with a warm environment that truly fosters and focuses on social and self-responsibility
• Discovery Program is now here! We also accept students from outside our high school for the Program.

MPHS Student Profile
The School is designed for students that would do well in a school that:

• has a small teacher-student ratio
• manages the flexibility required for effective private education
• emphasizes the importance of faith
• can offer an economically viable choice
• strives to teach self-responsibility and self-initiative
• accepts students who excel and want to accelerate their high school program
• accepts students who have learning differences and need more custom-oriented instruction
  
  We are not equipped to accept students who have significant behavioral problems, or substantial academic problems that would put the student considerably below "expected grade level" in more than one or two subject areas.  
  
  We also are not equipped to accept students who are having any kind of substance abuse, drug or alcohol issues. Much of our acceptance criteria is based on the interview with the student and family, with previous academic records, and with psychological evaluations if applicable or deemed necessary. 
  
  Most of our students are average to above average in intelligence, and some are gifted academically and/or in athletics or the arts. Most of the students are here because they do not make use of or need the larger environment in the public school setting, or simply wanted a different moral environment, or smaller, warmer atmostphere.  Home-schoolers also thrive here.

*New* DISCOVERY PROGRAM !!
As of the Fall 2008, MPHS offers the Discovery Program. A certified and highly experienced specialist teaches the students twice per week, focusing on lab exercises that help each student strengthen their ability to use different learning styles.

This program is outstanding, and is now open to surrounding schools for 6th - 12th grade students after school.

Call or email and ask about this program. It has life-long benefits. The program provides constant PRACTICE using 
different learning methods (auditory, visual, etc.). It is challenging and rewarding, and adults would love it as well!

Curriculum
All courses are accredited and transferrable. Memorial Private School follows the Texas Education Agency's essential elements and recommended course requirements for a high school diploma. Credit is earned by our use of the Texas Tech High School Curriculum - proven, and well-respected for its quality. With the Texas Tech Curriculum, your courses can transfer directly from Texas Tech to another school when needed. Full-time, experienced teachers provide instruction and custom, small group teaching in a classroom setting. Tutoring for Credit-by-Exam is also available. Memorial Private High School is a Specialty School with Texas Tech and is authorized to proctor exams for all subjects.

Parent Directed Education
We support the home school community! As you get into the more advanced material at the secondary level, it is sometimes effective for the student to have additional teachers who excel in each subject, and who have a passion for their subject matter. If a family would like to continue home-schooling, but not at home, we refer to this as Parent-Directed-Education. With your guidance, we will assist you in educating your children.

Course Offerings
All core subjects and electives are offered, including Yoga and Tae Kwon Do. The School operates with seven standard class periods, plus a lunch period and can also accommodate flexible schedules.
Emphasis is on college prep skills, which is reinforced by the use of the Texas Tech HS curriculum. This allows the student to see all the upcoming assignments, and provides a clear and concise way to move ahead in their work. Personalized graduation plans are outlined for each student.

Guarantee - No Pass, No Pay
We believe that if we cannot help a student succeed, we should not enroll that student. However, if your child has difficulties that we cannot overcome together, and your child has not broken school policies, we will gladly refund your most recent, full month's tuition.

The teaching and administrative experience of the school's founder and director, Harry Camp, has been focused on students at the secondary level, and particularly those families that seek private education. Because of his length of experience in this area, and our total dedication to the success of each student, this guarantee backing our commitment is one of the things that differentiates this school from others.

Come see us anytime! It is not that hard to make a change of schools, and it may change your whole family's life for the better. You do have a choice. Memorial Private School may be right for you.
