The Tenney School - A Houston Private School

The Tenney School promotes individualized learning through a "one student: one teacher" approach. Each student receives private instruction in English, science, social studies, and math. The Tenney School also understands and values the need for community interaction and provides opportunities for some standard classroom style instruction.

Our overall student-teacher ratio of two-to-one is an industry low and ensures that every student receives the attention they need to achieve their greatest academic potential.
