Learn Central Helps Parents Evaluate K-12 Education Options

Looking for quality education options and a family friendly urban lifestyle? Learn Central, a new online portal developed to help parents evaluate the K-12 education options available in the central city, proves you can have them both!

Access to quality education is a central value to Houstonians. And now, so is the desire to live a family-friendly urban lifestyle in communities like East End Houston.

It’s possible to have both.

Families are thriving in Houston’s urban core thanks to outstanding schools, shorter commutes, quality amenities and an abundance of opportunity just outside their front doors.

To support all parents’ commitment to provide the best for their children, Learn Central makes it as easy as possible to find great education options including schools, afterschool programs, child care, and summer programs. This is a resource designed for families who want learning environments and neighborhoods that reflect the diversity of Houston. Equipped with this tool, families can make informed decisions about where to plant their urban roots.
