✨ Inclusive. Personalized. Empowering for Every Learner.
Launching Fall 2026 | Houston, Texas
A brighter future begins here. The Lumen School of Houston is reimagining K–5 education for children with diverse learning needs—bridging the gap between early intervention programs and the traditional classroom experience.
✨ WHY WE EXIST
Our mission is to create an educational environment where every learner can grow with confidence, curiosity, and community support.
Because every child deserves continuity, compassion, and challenge.
The inspiration for The Lumen School of Houston came from a common story shared by many families of children with learning differences: after years in nurturing early intervention environments—where therapy, inclusion, and individualized learning are the norm—the transition to mainstream elementary schools can feel abrupt and unsupported.
We exist to bridge that gap.
We believe learning differences are not deficits—they’re diverse expressions of brilliance waiting to be nurtured. Our mission is to provide an educational environment that continues the level of individualized attention, inclusion, and growth families have come to value, helping every student shine at their fullest potential.
Our Core Commitments:
- Personalized Learning: Tailored approaches that meet each student where they are and grow with them.
- Inclusive Classrooms: Diversity is celebrated, and every learner’s voice matters.
- Collaborative Community: Strong partnerships between families, educators, and the Houston community.
✨ OUR VISION
A bridge between potential and possibility.
At The Lumen School of Houston, we’re not just teaching academics—we’re nurturing curiosity, building confidence, and empowering students to see themselves as capable, creative learners. Our vision is to create a small, family-centered microschool that combines the flexibility of private education with the soul of community-centered learning.
Every child deserves to grow in a space that understands their needs, celebrates their strengths, and prepares them for independence, inclusion, and lifelong success.
