The Memorial Private High School is a private 8th - 12th grade high school. The school, in west Houston, has a tutoring division called the MET (Memorial Education and Tutoring).
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
We are not equipped to accept students who have significant behavioral problems, or substantial academic problems that would put the student below "expected grade level" in more than one or two subject areas.
We also are not equipped to accept students who are having 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. Home-schoolers also thrive here.
Curriculum
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. Tutoring for Credit-by-Exam is also available. 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 guidance in a classroom setting. 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.
