Gender-Specific PDF Print E-mail

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.

Boys and Girls Learn Differently

Michael Gurian

*Currently, our sixth through eighth grades are coed, as we have one class of each.  Our two gender-separate fifth grade classes will become two gender-separate sixth grade classes for the 2009-2010 school year.
