Shadowbriar Mission
The mission of Shadowbriar Elementary School is to ensure that all students are confident, highly proficient learners.
Academic Programs
Shadowbriar School provides an educational program which offers each student an opportunity to develop their own strengths and abilities in a supportive, caring environment. Using individual and group instruction, technology, a variety of field trips, and other varied learning experiences, we challenge our students to make the transition from elementary to middle school students.
Traditional- The traditional classes at Shadowbriar offer all of our students the opportunity to cover grade appropriate curriculum as quickly as their abilities and commitment allow. Our teachers follow the CLEAR curriculum designed by HISD. They offer both tutorial and enrichment activities to keep all students actively engaged in their learning.
Multilingual- Bilingual and ESL classes are offered to any students that qualify for the programs. The focus of these programs is a rapid transition into all English instruction.
Special Education- Resource and Content Mastery classes and Speech Therapy are offered to students needing these services. Please confer with your child's teacher if you feel that your child may benefit from any of these services. Additionally, Shadowbriar houses a Life Skills class, a BIC class and a BAC class.
Vanguard/GT- The Houston Independent School District provides two program options for Gifted and Talented students. The Vanguard G/T magnet program is designed to meet the needs of G/T students in grades K-12 by providing an environment for students to work with their cognitive peers. The Neighborhood G/T programs (formerly known as SIGHTS) are designed to meet the needs of G/T students in grades K-12 at their neighborhood (zoned) schools. Both Vanguard G/T and Neighborhood G/T programs provide a differentiated curriculum by modifying the depth, complexity, and pacing of the general school program. HISD's Vanguard and G/T programs serve students who have been identified as potentially gifted or talented in intellectual ability, creativity, or leadership. Vanguard and G/T offers a differentiated curriculum that is both accelerated and enriched. Students typically study interdisciplinary units that emphasize higher-level thinking skills, problem-solving, and creativity. The Vanguard and G/T program requires testing.
