About TEXAS EDUCATION WORKS

Texas Education Works operates Western Academy, a private, independent liberal-arts lower and middle school for boys (grades 3–8) located in Houston, TX. The school emphasizes integrated academic, moral, physical, and spiritual formation and names a Catholic priest of the Prelature of Opus Dei as chaplain to oversee religious education. Western Academy serves roughly 230 students with an average class size near 19 and a student–faculty ratio of about 9:1. In recent years the school has sustained a named Scholarship Fund that provides need-based aid (the school reports awarding over $700,000 in aid per academic year) and continues annual fundraising traditions such as the Founding Roots Dinner to support scholarships and faculty development.
