About Us

A GROWING number of Houstonians are recognizing the strengths of attending a charter school, where the benefits are unmistakably clear.

THE VARNETT SCHOOL offers superior learning opportunities, combining experienced, certified teachers, progressive educational theory and practice, and state-of-the-art technology with the advantages of a diverse school population.

ENTHUSIASM was high in 1984 when Annette and Alsie Cluff established THE VARNETT SCHOOL in an effort to provide a hands-on, quality education program for their son. The promise of better teachers, a smaller student-to-teacher ratio and a more well-rounded education resonated all around. Today, THE VARNETT SCHOOL boasts one of the highest student populations for an elementary charter school in Houston. Serving students in grade levels Pre-K through fifth, THE VARNETT SCHOOL strives to provide a strong basis in traditional academics, as well as instill in its students an awareness of and appreciation for the diversity among people living in one of the most international cities in America.

At THE VARNETT SCHOOL, we believe every child is a unique and special individual who has the ability to learn. It is our responsibility to facilitate and nurture the development of every child's maximum potential - academically, physically, socially and emotionally. We are committed to providing opportunities to assist students in making self-directed, realistic and responsible decisions when analyzing problems that may confront them in our multi-cultural, ever-changing world.
