International studies and Catholic tradition consistently affirm the advantages of single-sex education. For this reason, Northwoods Catholic educates boys and girls separately starting in kindergarten.* Your child will be challenged in a nurturing environment that best serves the specific learning styles of each gender. Our approach is modeled on over 150 institutions in thirteen countries, directed by the Legionaries of Christ. Northwoods Catholic is the only school in north Houston to offer gender specific education.
For more in depth information we recommend two excellent books.
