About Journey School for the Uniquely Gifted and Talented

Melodie Chandler, a mother of children with differing abilities, opened Journey School for the Uniquely Gifted and Talented in Spring in fall 2019 through her family's nonprofit foundation. We are a private Christian school accepting students ages 3 to 21 who think and learn differently, including gifted children who also face learning challenges, in small classes.

Therapy is part of the school week. Our occupational therapists use a play-based, sensory-integrative approach, and our speech pathology team works with AAC systems and sign language as well as traditional speech therapy. A music therapist visits weekly, and an art therapist helps students express ideas through different media. We welcome every form of communication, and teachers draw on Saxon Math, IEW, Handwriting Without Tears and our own ELA curriculum.

The gated campus has nine classrooms, a sensory room, a therapy gym, a sensory gym, a cafeteria and an enclosed playground. Tuition starts at $35,000 a year, and we accept Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA) funds and award FACTS scholarships when available. Our Ambleside program offers a 4 or 5 day option for neurotypical students in K-4 at $10,000. Cognia accredits the school.
