My Place in The Woodlands

At My Place in The Woodlands, we believe that the education model must adapt to our new circumstances. The need of a safe, healthy and stable environment is now a priority, as much as academic excellence is.

Learning at My Place in The Woodlands allows your child to become the center of the education process, adapting to your child’s uniqueness.

We honor the need for families to experience new adventures spending time together in the afternoons. That is why our No Homework Policy is so important.

We actively encourage extra-curricular activities for families to bond together and for our students to learn about the world by choosing how they expand their own interests.
