Amigos Por Vida Friends For Life Charter School ("Amigos por Vida" is "Friends for Life" in Spanish) is a state charter school located in the Sierra Vista Apartments in Gulfton, Houston.

[2] In 2006, due to high Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) scores, the school received the Governor's Excellence Award.

During that year the school was located within several converted two and three bedroom apartment units in the Sierra Vista complex.

Jennifer Radcliffe of the Houston Chronicle said "The proximity is ideal for the impoverished immigrant community: Kids have few excuses for missing class and, when they do, teachers are a short walk from their front doors.

[3] As of 2007 the school had a long waiting list, and was engaging in a capital campaign to raise funds so it can move into a new building.
