ABOUT US

Mission: The mission of The Harris School is to support the educational and emotional development of children in Pre-K through grade 8 and their families.

Core Beliefs: We believe that all children can have purpose and achieve success. Guided through our team approach, we believe that parents are the primary catalyst for the students' emotional and intellectual development.

Vision Statement: We, at The Harris School, work cooperatively to enhance the learning and emotional progress of our students. The staff, teachers, family consultants and parents are committed to the process of learning and the application of knowledge. Our goal is to guide our students and provide them with the appropriate knowledge to excel as individuals in the community.

Our History: The Harris School began in 1996 as a preschool, developed after many years of hard work by several dedicated members of the Houston-Galveston Psychoanalytic Institute and funded by donations from generous benefactors. It was named after one of its founders, board member, outstanding contributor, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, Hunter Harris, M.D. Today, The Harris School serves children in grades Pre K through grade 8, who are typically average to above average intellectually, have needs that are not being met in a traditional school setting, and are not functioning at their full potential due to social or emotional developmental delays.
