New School in the Heights Accredited by TAAPS

We are a special needs school for ADHD children in Houston, Texas, as well as for children with OCD, Sensory Integration, selective mutism, reactive attachment disorder (RAD) and other diagnoses where children struggle with social-emotional issues. We are among the top private schools in Houston for Asperger’s students. We are also one of the schools for learning disabilities or a school for dyslexia when the emotional piece compounds the learning disability. Although we are not exclusively a private schools for gifted children, many of our students are gifted and talented because G/T children tend to struggle with emotions they have not yet learned to manage. Our goal for all students is to return to mainstream education.

New School in the Heights Students Excel on Stanford Achievement Tests--AGAIN!

New School in the Heights students take the Stanford Achievement Test (SAT) every other year to make sure they are learning the material they will need in mainstream schools once they transition from NSH. We also do this to reassure those people who worry that if we spend time carefully fostering children's social-emotional needs, they won't succeed academically. (We think it's just the opposite.) Although NSH is not exclusively one of the private schools for gifted children, gifted students thrive here because of our challenging academic program combined with careful attention to children's social and emotional needs.

The results are in!
New School in the Heights students scored significantly above grade level on two thirds of all subtests. This includes a number of students who were falling behind in their school work at the time they entered our school.

Congratulations to the teachers and students of NSH! Keep up the good work!

The students put together this "Hollywood Movie Trailer." Check it out!
