About Aristoi Classical Academy
Aristoi Classical Academy is a free, public charter school offering classical education to students in grades K-12. The charter, now in its 22nd year of operation, opened in 1996 with multiple Houston area campuses. The Katy campus, specializing in fine arts, had a limited enrollment until 2006 when the school’s board of directors voted to transition to a classical school model, an education previously available only in area private schools. The school, which officially changed its name to Aristoi Classical Academy in 2011, has enjoyed steady growth as local families have recognized the value of securing a free classical education.
Aristoi’s mission is to provide students with an academically challenging Classical Liberal Arts education that encourages them to develop a passion for learning and that gives them the means to become responsible citizens of virtuous character.
