Bob Hope School is set to open this fall at 11123 Cypress N. Houston Road, Houston—the current home of one of the region’s largest private schools, Cypress Christian School—as CCS students and staff prepare to relocate to their new campus in Bridgeland this August.

CCS President Jeffrey Potts said the property sale is expected to close by early June.

A closer look

Established in 2010, Bob Hope School is a tuition-free public charter school with campuses in Beaumont, Port Arthur, Pasadena and Baytown.

CEO and superintendent Bobby Lopez said the campus will offer:

• Montessori and dual-language instruction
• Mandarin Chinese instruction
• String instrument instruction for all students starting in first grade
• Dance instruction

Lopez said the expansion to Cy-Fair is in response to the community’s population growth over the last several years.

The school calendar for 2025-26 has not yet been finalized, but Lopez said the campus will open to pre-K through third- and sixth-grade students this fall. Up to 80 students per grade level will be accepted in the school’s first year in Cy-Fair. Additional grades will be added in the coming years, and the property will eventually serve pre-K through eighth-grade students.

This announcement comes about a year after CCS officials broke ground on the private school’s new Bridgeland campus, which is over 150,000 square feet on about 40 acres.Potts said the school has received about three times more applications this year compared to a typical school year. While the new, larger campus will have capacity for about 1,000 students, he said he’s not in a hurry to drastically grow student enrollment.

“We have about 825 students right now, and we don't really see going much beyond about 850 next year,” he said. “We want to focus on qualitative growth. If we do any growing, it’d be slow and measured as we keep our priority on our culture and our people that we have first and foremost.”
