Who We Are
The Post Oak School is a leader in learning. Since 1963, thousands of diverse students and families have been part of our comprehensive, early childhood through high school education founded on AMI Montessori principles. As a nonprofit organization, Post Oak’s 100+ faculty and staff take great pride in your child's development—from putting on socks and shoes by themselves to reading independently to landing their first internship and beyond.
Our students are active and engaged learners, using exploration, hands-on experience, collaboration, and creativity as their main academic tools. At Post Oak, education is challenging, relevant, and never passive—we truly challenge the norm. Maura Joyce, Head of School
At Post Oak, we help children understand the world because the world is infinitely interesting and learning is fun!
- We help them understand it so they’ll know how to make it a better place.
- We emphasize reading, math, and science because they open doors into the world.
- We emphasize independence, self-direction, and choice because they help young people identify which doors they want to walk through.
- We emphasize collaboration, cooperation, and peace because, ultimately, we know neither we nor our children walk alone.
