Annunciation Orthodox School, or AOS, is a private school located in the Montrose area in Houston, Texas, United States, established in 1970. Annunciation Orthodox School began as a ministry of Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral. Over the years it has grown from one early childhood class to a school averaging 670 students. AOS is a co-educational school. The school begins with Delphi Class (age three years) and goes through eighth grade. It is close to the museum and performing arts districts, medical center, major universities, libraries, downtown, and zoo. Nationally normed standardized test scores range from the 80s to the 90s, on average. ==History== In 1998 Joe Roach, an at-large member of the Houston City Council, promoted a request from AOS to buy one block of Marshall Street from the city so that AOS could acquire the lot to develop a parking lot and a walkway. At the time Roach had a son who was a student at AOS. Area residents argued that the buyout would increase traffic issues and divide their neighborhood. The city committee that approved AOS's request used a study of the area commissioned by AOS as the basis of the approval.〔Fleck, Tim. "(Vested Interests )." ''Houston Press''.

After the release of the film, the school removed copies of the book from its library.〔Viren, Sarah. "(Does film Compass steer kids in wrong direction? )" ''Houston Chronicle''. December 7, 2007.
