Our school began in 1977 as an outreach ministry with one 4-year-old class and one teacher.
In 1983, the school population grew to 26 students and two teachers.
In 1984, a 3-year-old class was added, and enrollment grew to 43 with a staff of three.
We have continued to increase enrollment and programming, and we are now blessed to serve up to 65 students with a staff of 13. We continue to meet the needs of our children and parents by offering a variety of programs, including part-time and full-time preschool classes along with a summer program. Holy Comforter Episcopal School is licensed by the State of Texas and accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
Holy Comforter Episcopal School strives to meet the needs of each student by providing individualized instruction that encompasses a variety of activities and experiences which focus on each area of development. An integrated approach is used in introducing concepts, thus creating classrooms full of learning opportunities that involve child-initiated, teacher-led, small-group, large-group, and individual instruction and experiences.
All activities reflect the loving, Christian environment that is the essence of HCES. Through consistency, creativity, patience, and flexibility we provide fun, challenging experiences that encourage both a love of God and a love of learning in the children we serve. All our efforts are focused on providing a stimulating and supportive environment for young children. The following words from Dr. Maria Montessori serve as our inspiration:
From our first days nurturing the love and story of God has been a core of our identity and curriculum. Through weekly chapel services and on-going classroom conversations between students and teachers we seek to keep God in the forefront of all we do.
Each Wednesday, in Holy Comforter’s Nave we gently present enduring Christian elements of worship such as children’s praise songs, Bible stories, the Lord’s Prayer, and the Doxology. Families are always welcome.
As a service project to Holy Comforter Episcopal Church and the community we encourage offerings of non-perishable food items for the campus food pantry; the students know this as bringing a chapel can.
It is the policy of Holy Comforter Episcopal School to encourage diversity within student enrollment, employment,
and the entire HCES community. HCES shall not discriminate based upon race, gender, or national origin.
We believe diversity enriches the spiritual, educational, and social growth of the HCES community. HCES accepts
enrollment of children of all faiths. To learn more about our policies please see our complete Parent Handbook.
