The Parish School

[1] The independent school serves children from developmentally 18 months to 12 years (or the fifth grade) who have average or above learning potential, but whose language, learning or communication differences impact their ability to be successful in a mainstream academic setting.

[3] As its founder, Parish sought to create an environment where students with average or above cognitive skills, could receive therapeutic intervention to support their learning.

[4][5][6] The school planned for Parish's retirement party to occur on Saturday June 19, 2010.

[3] In January 2011 the University of Texas Medical School at Houston Children's Learning Institute began sending resident neurologists and pediatricians to The Parish School, making it a part of their training rotations.

[10] In June 2011 Nancy Bewley, M.A.T., CCC-SLP, the principal, received the 2011 Tina E. Bangs Award by the Houston Association for Communication Disorders (HACD).
