Wesley Academy History
Wesley Academy is nestled in the dynamic Westchase business district of Houston, Texas at the corner of Beltway 8 and Westpark Drive. Wesley is a Christian, coeducational, independent school for children as young as six months old through Grade 8. The school is associated with the First Methodist Church of Houston and is located on its Westchase campus.
Wesley takes pride in what it has been able to accomplish in its short 15 year history. After much planning, the school opened in August 1995, enrolling thirty-one children, ages three through the first grade. The church facilities were soon outgrown; portable buildings had to be added to accommodate the school’s growing enrollment. Today, the school is grounded on a twenty-four acre with handsome facilities that include a gymnasium, soccer fields, and two swimming pools. These treasures are available to our students for physical education and athletics.
Wesley Academy is nestled between it’s founding body, First Methodist Houston Westchase, and Quillian Recreation Center, another ministry of the church that provides after school care for our students.
You are invited to visit us and take a tour of our beautiful facility and meet the amazing people that make up the Wesley community.
