Yellowstone partners with students and families—regardless of financial means—to provide a life-changing education, develop a strong moral foundation, and prepare scholars for life beyond high school.
About Yellowstone Schools
Welcome to Yellowstone Schools!
It is my honor to introduce you to a school that believes that every student is born with purpose and destined for success.
In the neighborhoods that we serve, only 1 in 10 students actually graduate from high school, caused by generational poverty, low quality of nearby schools, and lack of access to the right resources and opportunities. At Yellowstone, that number is six times higher—and rising!
Our students are not only graduating from high school, but earning college credit, receiving college and career counseling, individualized support, deepening their education through hands-on field trips, and more—all in a small school environment that feels like family.
I can’t think of a more exciting place to be than at Yellowstone Schools, where students thrive and become the people they were meant to become. We’re glad you’re here!
—Dr. James Mosley, Superintendent
WE BELIEVE ALL STUDENTS ARE BORN WITH PURPOSE AND DESTINED FOR SUCCESS.
Why Yellowstone Schools?
Small Classrooms
With an average student-teacher ratio of 17, students at Yellowstone Schools receive individualized support to meet their academic goals.
Additionally, our upper school has a robust special education program that assists students who need a little extra help, while our lower school students receive individualized support from dedicated intervention teachers.
Hands-On Learning
Yellowstone students take field trips throughout the year that not only reinforce learning but also expand their idea of what’s possible. Field trips include the zoo, farms, college tours, Moody Gardens, Camp Cullen, senior care centers, theaters, rodeo, trampoline parks, museums, food banks, and more! Extracurricular activities include athletics and a variety of afterschool activities and clubs.
Destined for Success
Our alumni have not only attended trade schools, received technical certifications, become entrepreneurs, and served in the military, but also attended colleges such as Spelman College, Norfolk State University, Drexel University, Howard University, Albion College, Texas Southern University, the University of Houston, and more.
House System
The House System at Yellowstone is designed to cultivate school culture, unity, and pride. It serves as an academic motivator while helping students develop a sense of belonging and identity, among others. Similar to Harry Potter houses, students are randomly placed in one of four Houses—Amistad, Altruismo, Reveur, or Isibindi—each with their own symbols, emphasis, and chants. Each house continues in a different form when students reach the 9-12th grades. Learn more by clicking here.
College Credit
Yellowstone Schools allows students the opportunity to earn dual credit at no cost to improve their college readiness and get ahead. 9th-12th grade students meet regularly with our college & career readiness counselor to help them achieve their post-high school goals.
Lower School
A private Christian school for grades PreK3-5th with extracurricular opportunities, weekly chapel, individualized support, and caring teachers.
Yellowstone Schools inspire, empower, and invest in students to achieve their highest potential and fulfill their intended purpose.
Upper School
A public charter school for 6-12th grade students through IDEA public schools. The upper school is an Early College High School with a robust curriculum to prepare students for beyond high school, and offers many extracurricular and athletics opportunities.
