Welcome to the Banff Family!
The Banff School is the leading independent private school for PreSchool - 12th grade in NW Houston, TX.
Known for differentiated learning, our school nurtures and educates the whole child, and we’re committed to coming alongside you to maximize your student's potential. Our faculty and staff are unified in creating a caring and safe learning environment where young people are challenged to thrive academically and grow as young adults prepared to impact the world around them for good. Campuswide low student-teacher ratios (7:1), combined with dedicated, experienced teaching staff, allow us to help our students realize their full potential. Our goal is to achieve academic excellence for all.
Educating The Whole Child
At The Banff School, students are prepared for the college or university of their choice, with a strong academic foundation, emotional maturity and confidence to succeed.
At Banff, we are 4 schools in 1: Preschool, Lower School (K-5th), Middle School (6th-8th), and Upper School (9th-12th)...so you can rest assured that you've found a place to call home for your child's education, no matter his or her age. We have continually been improving our campus, curriculum and culture over our 50-year history here in Houston, providing unique learning opportunities for all of our students -- from our littlest learners to our soon-to-be graduates. Our 4-in-1 campus provides mentoring and leadership development, as well as many tiers of differentiation. Four levels of education...all part of one close-knit community -- it's what we call "The Banff Family!"
