Our Mission & Values

  • Alchemy Studios and Labs prioritizes authentic relationships among students, staff, and the community for meaningful learning experiences and personal growth. We aim to mirror Houston's diversity in our student and staff body to enrich learning from the city's demographics.

  • Student interest ignites a passion for learning! At Alchemy Studios & Labs, students drive their education by pursuing interests through internships. This approach deepens understanding, builds essential skills, and fuels a desire to succeed. Research shows students with a strong interest in their work learn more effectively and achieve at higher levels. By putting students' passions at the center, we empower them to thrive.

  • At Alchemy Studios & Labs, we believe strong families build strong students. That's why we go beyond traditional methods to actively partner with families. The word partnership is intentional– we share information, value parents' input, and collaborate on shaping their child's learning plan. Together with regular feedback and opportunities to co-design community events, we create a supportive network that fosters a thriving school community.

We are in the process of securing our school location, with Hardy Yards and East Spring Branch as our target neighborhoods. Alchemy Studios & Labs is a public charter school with open enrollment. Students will apply and be selected through a lottery system. Application details will be available soon, with the application period opening in Winter 2024.
