Why Apply to Memorial Private School?
“My daughter went to other schools before enrolling at Memorial Private School. After a number of stressful experiences, she is now making friends, has a “B” average (despite challenges with dyslexia), and is so much happier. Memorial Private School has made a big difference for our daughter.” – Candace, Parent
How Hard is it to Get Accepted?
Although we are ranked in the top 20% of private schools in Texas, and amongst the most selective, we look at every student individually. Our students come from all over Houston from a variety of school backgrounds, including: public, charter, parochial, homeschooling, and other private schools. Typically, these families are looking for an alternative to big classes where their child is getting lost.
The microschool concept works and we want to show you how. Please follow the five simple steps outlined on this page and to better understand what we look for during the application process, it is helpful to check out our admissions criteria.

Questions? Find Out How to Apply?
Step One: Contact us to learn how to apply and to schedule an appointment for a tour, student interview, and parent consultation. Bring copies of any test scores or documents discussed during the initial phone consultation. The interview process includes meeting with the Head of School, Principal, and Dean of Students. If you elect to come for a tour only, a second appointment will be required to complete the steps. Please see the contact information below.
Step Two: Complete the application form provided. It is simple and easy to complete. We will provide this form to you following the initial parent consultation call.
Step Three: Submit a request for transcripts to your current school’s Registrar or provide unofficial copies to us. Also, please gather any test scores if available. Previous test scores and academic transcripts are typically sufficient to apply. We do not rely on outside tests to determine admission, but rather put a heavier emphasis on the student’s ability to succeed at our school.
Step Four: Schedule a shadow day. Shadow days are very helpful for the student, family, and school to determine if this is the best fit. Students will be able to connect with other students, hear firsthand experiences, get to know our stellar faculty, and address any questions.
Step Five: Complete a short writing sample by following the instructions provided. No need to stress or prepare, this is simply an opportunity for us to better assess core writing skills.
