Reminders From the Initial Announcement

This January, we announced major school year dates. We wanted to call special attention to the fact that we will be going to school until May 29, the week after Memorial Day, and a week longer than this school year.  
  • First day of school: Tuesday, August 19, 2025.
  • Going extra days post Memorial Day in May. This gets us to our 175 school day Texas Alliance of Accredited Private Schools (TAAPS) requirement.
  • Three professional development days. These days are used by Guides during the school year for teamwork and collaboration. We often shorten and call them PD Days.

Important Notes

  • Additional events will be added to the calendar over the summer.
  • All dates are subject to change and will always be update on our website calendar and in the Nest.
  • We carefully review other school calendars as we assemble our calendar. We also take into account major religious holidays. Our goal is to have as much uninterrupted teaching time and regular weeks as possible.
