Harmony Science Academy-City Place—led by founding Principal Elyse Pravel—will welcome its inaugural class for the 2025-26 school year, according to the release. The campus will serve students in pre-K through sixth grade, and lessons will have a focus on STEM—science, technology, engineering and math.
“As someone who has personally benefited from Harmony’s programs, it’s incredibly meaningful for me to bring all that we offer to the Spring/Woodlands area,” Pravel said via the news release. “I’m especially looking forward to opening the doors of our new campus—not just for learning, but also for community events, competitions, celebrations and more.”
Work on the campus is mostly finished, with final touches expected to be complete in early July, according to the release. The campus is located on a 28.9-acre tract of land that will one day also house a middle and high school, as previously reported by Community Impact.
Construction on the future campuses is expected to kick off in 2027, according to the release.
Harmony Public Schools is a Texas-based public charter school system with curriculum that focuses heavily on STEM skills, character education, project-based learning and college readiness, as previously reported by Community Impact. While charter schools are free of tuition, students must apply to attend the school and are selected through a lottery system if there are more students who apply than spots are available.

Harmony Public Schools’ City Place project was announced in September 2022 after the school system purchased land from City Place master developer CDC Houston, as previously reported. The land is located on Spring Stuebner Road south of the Grand Parkway in north Houston.
“The addition of Harmony Public Schools, a proven leader in STEM education and character development, is an exciting step in our evolution as a community,” CDC Executive Vice President Warren W. Wilson said via the June 4 release.
The first Harmony Public School campus was originally estimated to open for the 2024-25 school year, as previously reported.
