About The WIDE School

The WIDE School is the only Big Picture Learning school in Texas and has served Missouri City and Sugar Land families since 2001. WIDE stands for Wonder, Investigate, Discover and Educate. We are also a Learner Centered Collaborative certified school, and we enroll children from infancy through high school.

Our approach is shaped by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, with an evolving, child-centered curriculum delivered largely through project-based learning. Students work in collaborative groups, brainstorm, divide responsibilities and present their projects, and teachers put questions back in students' hands. Upper grade teachers hold degrees in education or their subject areas, and our Think Tank instructors bring specialized degrees and real-world experience. Art students create murals and festival projects in the Houston area, and our culinary program links food, science and business.

We opened The WIDE Campus in 2016 as a shared space for hands-on learning. Our program asks a lot of student independence and collaboration, and support comes through our classroom approach rather than in-house specialists.

Missouri City, TX Grades K-8
Autism ADHD Dyslexia

Faith, family, and a real education for every kind of learner. That has been the heart of King's Academy for more than 40 years here in Missouri City. We partner with families to grow strong academics, strong character, and a lasting love for Christ, in small classes where teachers truly know each child. We run from a state-licensed early childhood program for ages 1 to 4, called Little Lions Learning Academy, through grade 8, blending individualized instruction with a Biblical worldview and a focus on literacy, critical thinking, math, and hands-on science. Students leave us prepared for high school and grounded in confidence and character. At the center of our special-needs support is the RiSE Program, for students with mild to moderate learning differences including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia. Through structured, multisensory teaching, small classes, and individualized attention, students learn in general education classrooms or specialized RiSE classes depending on what they need, with predictable routines, sensory supports, executive-function strategies, and explicit social skills instruction in a warm, Christ-centered setting.
