Discovery Middle School is located in Museum Park. The private, coeducational school serves students in grades 6, 7 and 8. The school is a program of the Nehemiah Center. Its mission is to, “provide assistance to low income families who are invested in seeking a better future for their children through education, emotional wellness and spiritual enhancement.” The school incorporates, “Houston as a Classroom,” locating many learning experiences outside the school building at local museums, businesses and parks. In July 2017, the Nehemiah Center joined Southwest Schools, a choice-based Texas education district, in order to expand and enhance its academic offerings. Nehemiah Middle School now operates as Discovery Middle School at Nehemiah (DMSN).
