Yellowstone College Prep is a new community school dedicated to building community leaders. The first of its kind in Texas, this unique charter school model was approved by the Texas Education Agency in 2017. Our teachers and administrators are active members in our neighborhoods and are focused on the intellectual and emotional growth of your student.
We believe all students are born with purpose and destined for success. At Yellowstone College Prep we create a safe learning environment with high academic standards.
Growing to serve
Yellowstone College Prep shares a single campus with Yellowstone Academy in the heart of Houston’s historic Third Ward where we inspire, empower and invest in students to achieve their highest potential and fulfill their intended purpose.
We are dedicated to building leaders from 5th to 9th grade. Yellowstone College Prep will grow to serve 10th-12th grade students by adding a grade level each year .
Proven Best Practices
At Yellowstone College Prep, we build upon the proven best practices of effective community schools by connecting educators, families and community stakeholders for collective impact. Our program includes the following distinctions:
- A rigorous, college-prep curriculum enhanced by community classroom experiences for integrated hands-on learning and discovery.
- A robust volunteer model that brings together volunteers from the local community and across Houston to provide resources and opportunities that would otherwise not exist for our students.
- A high-impact parental engagement approach that positively contributes to student learning.
- A comprehensive set of student support services and extracurricular activities to ensure students are successful both in and out of the classroom.
