The HUB Houston is a non-residential educational organization serving the neurodiverse community in Houston and surrounding areas. Located in Spring Branch, The HUB offers three distinctive programs for young adults from High School through Post Graduate ages.

High School

High School - A community-based educational program using a hands on approach with an emphasis on a project based high school curriculum. Our Student Members are invited to “do the work” of belonging through a distinctive personal and relational curriculum called the Journey of Belonging.
Faculty believe belonging to a community is at the heart of learning. The HUB aspires to be a welcoming, joyful center where interactive relationship practice is central and where each Student Member is accepted and cherished just as they are. At The HUB, social relationships will flourish, academic growth will continue, and professional and employability skills are taught and practiced.
Faculty work with each Student Member to develop their own Journey of Belonging plan to commit to practicing growth in the areas of competence, independence, care, and membership.
The HUB High School schedule is August- May, Monday through Friday, 7:30AM – 2:30PM.

Aspire Accessories
The HUB Houston is proud to add another outstanding program to our Employability offerings for the neurodiverse community. Aspire Accessories is a work transition program that grew out of the need of one parent to find equitable and meaningful work for her Autistic son. The program provides a solution to what is known as the “services cliff” - the result of our neurodiverse population aging out of supported services in school-based environments.
Aspire Accessories’ mission to inspire and empower neurodiverse individuals to reach their full potential is inline with the philosophy of The HUB and we are excited to join forces and make an even more impactful difference in the workplace.
Our program schedule is flexible to fit individual Artisan’s needs. We have various full-time and part-time options. Please contact admissions@thehubhouston.org for more information.

Past Summer Offerings
FUN in Houston HUB members joined Mr. Nathan and Ms. Avilés on 4 day-excursions around Houston. They visited Houston Zoo; Momentum Bouldering Gym with lunch at Buff Burger; Disc Golf, The Menil Art Museum and lunch at Menil Bistro; and, ITZ Gameplex.
Music, movement, drama, laughter, costumes, and creativity combined in this day camp, offered twice during the summer. Campers joined Mrs. Krause and Ms. Cay in creating and producing an original musical based on their favorite songs, dances, and characters! A performance was given at the end of each week for family and friends!
Volcanoes, slime, airplanes, lava lamps, and experiments you can eat—all crafts of the day as Campers experienced the joy of science mixed with the joy of being messy!
The Solitude Beach House in Freeport was home base for four days as the fishermen enjoyed a day each of deep-sea fishing, cast fishing, wade fishing and crabbing. Some of the activities Campers experienced: Stewart’s Beach, Pleasure Pier, & Moody Gardens. (Only Members over 18 years of age.)
The Campers explored four awesome attractions in Houston: The Houston Zoo, Space Center Houston, Houston Museum of Natural Science and The Downtown Aquarium. One day was spent at each venue. (Only Members of Life 101 Program.)
Campers combined outings throughout the city with daily art project back on campus! They visited Seismique Interactive Art Museum, Houston Museum of Natural Science, Museum of Fine Arts, and Smither Park/Art Car Museum/Graffiti Wall at the Orange Show.
Campers enjoyed aquatic adventures with a trip to the Downtown Aquarium, Historic Harbor Tour and Dolphin Watching, ending with an overnight stay at a beautiful Galveston beach house.
