Five Corners is home to educational opportunities
From early childhood and pre-school education to world-class college preparatory schools and a community college, the Five Corners community is the site of many educational opportunities.
The Imani School at 12401 1/2 S. Post Oak Road provides stimulated early learning for children from six weeks to three years old. The MLK Early Childhood Center at 3930 W. Fuqua is part of the Houston Independent School District and offers bilingual and English as a Second Language (ESL) classes for four-year-olds, collaborating with a Neighborhood Centers Head Start Program. Students may qualify to enroll at MLK on the basis of homelessness, limited proficiency in English, and economic need.
