EDUCATION

“From Cradle to Career and Beyond”

Unlike other communities, Bridgeland has developed a Master Education Plan to provide for the educational needs of residents including pre-school sites, special needs school sites, private schools and public schools. Additionally, Bridgeland is working with universities to provide satellite locations and/or a University Center as well as continuing education for adults.

Three highly acclaimed public school districts will serve the Bridgeland community: Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District, Katy Independent School District and Waller Independent School District.

Children living in the first phases of Bridgeland attend schools in the Cypress-Fairbanks ISD. Cy-Fair students benefit from a low student to teacher ratio of 15:1, 74% of Cy-Fair students go on to attend college and Cy-Fair is the largest district rated as “Recognized” by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). Progressive curricula in state-of-the-art classrooms and a wide selection of extracurricular activities offer students an optimal environment for growth and success.

PRE-SCHOOL & CHILDCARE

As Bridgeland matures, residents will find a multitude of licensed pre-school and childcare facilities offered by religious congregations as well as private entities to meet their needs, all conveniently located in their neighborhoods.

PRIVATE SCHOOLS

The Bridgeland education plan includes a comprehensive private school component to offer residents alternatives to public schools. The plan includes numerous highly accredited private schools that are easily accessible from Bridgeland.

SPECIAL EDUCATION

Bridgeland is committed to providing educational opportunities to families with special needs and several locations are being considered to offer facilities for them.

With more than 20,000 new homes to be built in Bridgeland, plans for on-site schools are already underway. This will include 6 new elementary schools, 2 middle schools and one high school. Bridgeland's first elementary school is slated to open in 2012.
