I am so thankful that Southminster was recommended to us multiple times by local parents. My child attended the Bridge program there and the rate at which he learned was astonishing and he was prepared for Kindergarten. The staff is like family and the most welcoming people I have come across. Our child was well-loved and well-taken care of. The classroom sizes are smaller and the teachers have tenure. This was important to us! On a side note, I had a very close family member pass away unexpectedly and I confided in my child's teacher on how to share the news with my child while incorporating faith. They even went as far as gifting him a book about heaven to help connect the dots, which I will forever be thankful for. Make this your #1 choice, they are the best!

I am the Grandmother of a 3-year-old who attends preschool at South Minister. What an amazing place. Who knew a 3-year-old could be able to know her alphabet? She loves the music in class. Our Granddaughter is so thriving here. I love picking her up and seeing how much she is loved. The Christian-based program is so good for the kids.

We are so blessed to have sent our two kids to Southminster School. We heard about this school through our siblings who sent their children there. The school provides great child care and faith-based education. The teachers and principal are supportive and attentive to the children. The small class size ratio is another great benefit of being part of the Southminster family. The early childhood program at Southminster is phenomenal!

Southminster School has been so wonderful for my kids. They are always doing fun activities during the school year and have great parent-teacher communication while also making friends and learning about the Bible! The smaller class sizes allow for the teachers to really get to know your child and have that 1-1 interaction and the best learning experience.

Southminster School is the hidden, finest, little community school with caring and loving teachers, involving families, and a hands-on academic learning program for bridging/kinder classes. I have taught here for 13 years and just love, love this great school. There is nothing quite like it! It's a diverse, supportive staff and all about Christian values and dedicated to your child's learning. I look forward to coming to work every day because of this little community treasure! The students and families are the greatest that we touch daily!

I heard all positive news about Southminster through my neighbors. We signed up our child last year for the first time in their Mother`s Day out program. He loves it! His teacher is amazing and has helped him in so many ways. The students also attend chapel every day and I love that! I strongly recommend this place to any parent looking to put their children in a private school. I have told all my friends and family about it as well.

I'm so glad I found Southminster preschool. I looked all around Missouri City and it was always chaos at daycares. At Southminster, they form little lines. Go do one activity, then another. My daughter loves her teachers. Runs up and gives them big hugs. Absolutely love it here. Also, best price around.

Southminster school is a community-based, faith-filled, and family-centered school. The environment fostered by the leadership and teachers has been so impactful to our daughter and our family as a whole. The teachers at the school are so loving toward each child and the parents as well. My daughter has gained a love for learning not only her ABCs and numbers but a love for Jesus which we are so thankful for. Can`t recommend Southminster enough!

We were considering private school for our children and after talking to another parent we decided to give South Minster School a tour. Two years later and we could not have made a better decision for our family. My elementary aged children are surrounded by a school that provides an amazing atmosphere daily, wonderful teacher support and bonus Chapel two times per week and updates from the Pastor and Head of school. My kids get into the car each day excited to tell me about their day and academically are learning more than what a public school can provide with the smaller classroom sizes and one-on-one time with the teachers!

Several friends recommended Southminster and after touring 8 preschools in Fort Bend, we decided Southminster was the best fit for our family.Reflecting on the last 6 years we have been a part of the Southminster family, I am truly grateful for the loving and nurturing environment our son has been blessed to be a part of. Our son will be in fourth grade this year and he loves going to school every day. We feel good knowing he getting a solid foundation built on biblical principles.The children are amazing at this school ~ so kind and caring. Southminster truly is like family.A Christian education, small class size, great teachers and a safe environment make Southminster the perfect choice for our family!
