Yellowstone Academy

At Yellowstone, we believe that every child is born with a purpose and destined for success. Our mission is to inspire, empower, and invest in students to achieve their full potential and fulfill their intended purpose. \n\nProgram Objectives\n1. Challenge each student to be on or above grade level in reading and math each school year; \n2. Develop each child’s character and faith preparing them to make good decisions under difficult circumstances; \n3. Provide each student with the additional tools and services needed for academic success including transportation, meals, uniforms, and social services.

Yellowstone's educational program delivers the best of both the private and the public school models. At Yellowstone, we couple the rigorous academics, dynamic teachers, and robust athletic and extracurricular programming that are hallmarks of private schools with the support that public schools routinely provide to students including free transportation, free daily meals, and social services. The school also connects with the parents of our students on a consistent and substantive basis to promote strong family participation in their child’s educational success and individual well-being. Yellowstone sets high academic expectations for our students and places a premium on the development of their faith, character, and responsibility. \n\nThe Yellowstone Schools currently serve nearly 500 students from pre-kindergarten through the 9th grade with small class sizes. Small group learning allows teachers to actively engage students and meet individualized learning needs.

With more than 20 years of experience, Yellowstone alumni are now attending neighborhood, private, magnet and charter schools throughout Houston, and many of them are succeeding in some of Houston's most prestigious and challenging high schools. Our graduates are continuing to pursue their full potential in college and with other post-secondary opportunities, including vocational certifications and the military. More than 70% of our college-age alumni have enrolled in a post-secondary degree or vocational certification program. In a community where students are not expected to enter college, let alone graduate high school, we are making an incredible impact.

In a community where students are not expected to enter college, let alone graduate high school, we are making an incredible impact. In July 2017, the State of Texas granted approval to open Yellowstone College Prep, a new charter school co-located with the Academy and serving grades 5-8. Together, the Yellowstone Schools are serving nearly 500 students from Pre-K through 9th grade, and plan to grow by adding a grade each year through 12th grade until we are serving nearly 1,000 students annually. This new co-location model ensures that we can serve more students all the way through high school and beyond.
