What's Next


high school and beyond

In keeping with the School mission of Family, School, and Church united in the education and support of each child, we will walk alongside families throughout the process of matriculating on to high school. With students and parents in mind, we have designed a system to equip families with the tools they need to navigate the admission process. Presbyterian School values the opportunity to educate and support each family through this process.

8th grade students participate in the following:

  • Rotate through a series of informative workshops that cover essential topics such as: preparing for the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE), interview preparation, writing effective essays, and organizing your applicant file.
  • Visit and tour private high schools together as a class. High schools are also welcomed on campus to present information during the school day.
  • Students and families are encouraged to attend Open Houses and other high school admission events to get a better feel for each high school.
  • Through in-person meetings, informational materials, student-to-teacher conversations, and digital blog updates, students are given all they need to know how to best represent themselves as applicants.


Presbyterian School graduates have been accepted to the following Houston independent high schools. Scroll down to see a complete list of schools alumni have received acceptances to including public high schools, boarding schools, colleges and universities.
