About WALIPP Preparatory Academy For Boys
Charter public middle school for boys in grades 6, 7 and 8. Located on the campus of Texas Southern University, an HBCU in Houston, Texas.
The WALIPP charter school model is based on research in meeting the specific needs of male students. To address the lack of achievement of minorities and students from low-income homes, program planners turned to research that suggests that boys and girls learn in different ways. The tenuous nature of early adolescence prompted program planners to create a middle school for boys who are able to learn to love learning without competing for attention.
Single-sex instruction offers specific gender-friendly opportunities for enhancing learning by directly addressing many of the challenges and stressors in boys' educational and personal lives. WALIPP-TSU Preparatory Academy is an innovative environment that incorporates men in pivotal roles to teach boys how to become men.
