“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”
The Cypress School is a place where children will grow in their wonder of the world through the science and art of play and exploration. The staff has created a safe and loving Christ-centered environment where children flourish academically, socially, spiritually, and emotionally.

Life on Campus
Our campus is conveniently located right off of Convict Hill Road. Nestled on 13 acres of land, we have two buildings and large green spaces to explore. Children have picnic tables to eat at, astroturfed playgrounds to play on and amazing outdoor classrooms. We believe children should play outside every day, therefore each class gets the opportunity to play outside two times a day!
In addition to class time, we offer many different clubs throughout the school year. Each club runs for 6 weeks and lets children explore topics that excite them. In the past, children have enjoyed cooking club, art club, science club and car club!
Cypress History
The Cypress School started in 2019. What was once only a dream, the school was opened to provide a Christian school in South Austin where children would be able to wonder, play, and explore. We value play, hands-on education, as well as provide a rigorous curriculum where our students thrive.
Cypress Pedagogy
At The Cypress School, we are a Christian, co-ed school in South Austin. We are student centered and use evidence-based curriculum. We combine traditional, STEAM, Montessori, Reggio and classical education. This in turn allows our teachers to use the best of what is available in the field of education. We use hands-on Montessori materials which innately teach our children many skills.
We design our classroom spaces with our students in mind. We take great pride in teaching students to think critically. We encourage children to ask questions, dig deep into their learning, and provide many opportunities to communicate, collaborate, and build a strong community.
While we are an academically rigorous school, we know that grades are not everything, and we strive to develop our students' character, social and emotional skills as well.
Cypress Beliefs
The Cypress School is a Christian School. We believe:
- The Bible is the Word of God, fully inspired and without error in the original manuscripts.
- There is one true, good, and living God who eternally exists in three persons—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- God created men and women in His image and created all things for His glory.
- All have sinned and rebelled against God.
- Jesus came to earth, lived a perfect life, and died an atoning death—conquering sin, Satan, and death by His resurrection.
- God alone is the Author of Salvation.
- The Holy Spirit gives gifts to those who are in Christ.
- The church consists of all who have trusted Jesus for their eternal salvation.
- Heaven and hell are real places.
- Jesus Christ will one day return to establish His kingdom.
Every day children participate in a Bible time in class. Children sing worship songs, memorize scripture, and will hear the entire Bible each year in class. (Age appropriate Bibles are given to each classroom.)
Featured Class: 3rd Grade
Our third graders are beginning the year reading the beloved book, The Mouse and The Motorcycle.
