Academic and Behavior Schools (ABS) East

Academic and Behavior Schools East is specifically designed for students with intellectual, developmental, and behavioral disorders, autism spectrum disorder, and other significant health impairments.

Designed by Houston architectural firm Cre8 Architects, the new facility is largely based on its sister school, Academic and Behavior School West, whose new campus opened in August 2020.

The new campus will be built on the existing campus' field, located in southeast Harris County.
