University of Texas Charter School-MCH Campus
In an effort to better meet the educational needs of students, MCH joined the University of Texas - University Charter School in the summer of 2003. Most MCH residents attend the charter school.

Enhanced staffing, a low student/caregiver ratio, positive behavior management and the various academic options available through the school are key factors for residents who achieve academic success and personal growth through the MCH program. The school offers a diverse academic curriculum for 6th through 12th grades.

As part of its affiliation with the University of Texas - University Charter School System, the Methodist Children's Home Campus must meet rigorous academic standards and accountability assessments established by the Texas Education Agency (TEA).

Public School
Every year, residents of Methodist Children's Home make a significant impact in public schools, where many excel academically and in extracurricular activities. Students have recently been recognized for excellence in theatre, science, poetry, history, athletics and drill team, among other subjects and activities. Residents also serve in leadership positions in clubs and organizations, including the National Honor Society.

In addition to support provided by Waco ISD, MCH staff provides educational services on campus to support the efforts of public schools. Weekly tutorials ensure residents have every opportunity to succeed academically. In addition, social workers and homeparents provide valuable support and encouragement as residents pursue their educational and career plans.
