About Yellowstone Academy in Houston's 3rd Ward

Yellowstone Academy is a private, Christ-centered school exclusively serving children from low-income families. The school sets high expectations for students and places a premium on the basic attributes necessary for success in American life: character, responsibility, self-reliance and faith. Yellowstone Academy represents a comprehensive approach to addressing the problems caused by the cycle of illegitimacy, illiteracy and dependency that plague families in poverty. Our goal is to reach children in circumstances that create a high probability of life dysfunction and to provide for them the environment and tools that will lead to a high probability of life success. Yellowstone Academy currently has 288 students in Pre-K 3 to 6th grade. The plan is to add one grade level per year through the eighth grade.
