Transform a student's life.

Support high quality education and wrap-around support services for Houston's most vulnerable children.

Access to a high-quality education can determine a student's outcome.

According to data reported by the Texas Tribune, only 1 in 10 economically disadvantaged students or students of color in Houston is expected to successfully complete a college degree or post-secondary certification program.

These exceptional students can expect to enjoy higher wages, more employment opportunities, better health, and increased levels of civic engagement. For the remaining nine students, however, the future is not nearly so bright.

You can be the difference.

Your gift will provide a student with access to Yellowstone's unique educational program -- a program with more than 15 years of proven results.

The Role of Poverty

In Texas, school districts with few economically disadvantaged students tend to perform better than districts with more. In fact, no school district with a rate of low-income students lower than 30 percent received an overall rating of C, D or F.

We believe all students are born with purpose and destined for success.

By providing a high-quality, rigorous education paired with holistic student support programs, we are succeeding where so many schools have failed, but we need your support.

This problem is too big for us to fight alone, but with your support we can make a difference in Houston.

The Yellowstone Difference


Serving 500 Students

We inspire, empower and invest in students to achieve their highest potential and fulfill their intended purpose.

Through a unique co-location model, Yellowstone is able to serve nearly 500 students from Pre-K through 9th grade at Yellowstone Academy and Yellowstone College Prep.

Yellowstone Academy

Serving students in Pre-K through 4th grade, the Academy is a private, Christian school dedicated to building the next generation of community leaders here in Houston. By providing high-quality instruction paired with wrap-around support services, we come alongside families during their child's most formative development years. Through this family and school partnership, we set our students up for success.

Yellowstone College Prep

Serving students in 5th through 9th grade, Yellowstone College Prep is a public, charter school designed to meet the challenges our students face head-on. We are preparing students for success beyond their high school diploma, ensuring a brighter future for them, for their families, and for the entire city of Houston.

7 in 10 Yellowstone Alumni

At the Yellowstone Schools, our alumni graduate high school prepared for success. More than 75% have enrolled in college or post-secondary programs. We inspire, empower, and invest in students to achieve their highest potential and fulfill their intended purpose.

Our first class of alumni will begin graduating from college in 2020, and we predict that more than 7 in 10 of them will succeed -- representing a rate of achievement 60% higher than their peers.

For more than 15 years we have been working to move the needle. Our students are beating the odds stacked against them everyday. They are living proof that a high quality education paired with wrap-around support services can transform a life.

Despite this fantastic success, our efforts are not enough.

We need you.
