A+UP Charter School
Helping Houston kids realize their unlimited potential.
We’re a middle & high school shaping kids into confident learners through personalized academics & a safe environment.
What makes your kid tick?
As parents, we get a front-row seat to how uniquely gifted our kids are. So it’s frustrating to see them withdraw into the background during their middle school years. At A+UP Charter School, we uncover the motivations and learning styles of each student so that together we can help them confidently step into who they’re meant to be and what they can achieve. A+ Unlimited Potential.
Belong
When students feel like they belong, they are more likely to participate in class discussions, collaborate with their peers, and take ownership of their education. Been called a nerd? There’s a place for you at our table.
Grow
We don’t sugarcoat student performance. Every student faces where they are academically and where they can be. Through honest communication, we empower students to self-advocate and get what they need to grow.
Rise
At A+UP, students are free to become the best versions of themselves. There is no ceiling. We celebrate incredible character development and academic achievement every day!

"A+UP has been a dream come true for our family. The combined focus on academic growth, personalized learning plans, and emphasis on character development helped our son go from an anxious, struggling child to a more confident student that’s found his voice. He’s scored better on standardized tests than he ever did in elementary school, and his growth trajectory has been remarkable. Best of all, he feels SEEN."

“I like how the coaches are actually helpful. They explain the school assignments when you don’t understand, and I have lots of ways to get the help I need. I can get coaching sessions with a coach, work with a tutor or in a small group. I was pretty quiet when I started, but now I am friends with all kinds of kids that are interested in different things.”

"This school is an amazing hidden gem! Wish we had found it for 6th grade but we got here as soon as we could. These last two years have seen such growth for my daughter. The care and attention from the staff is incredibly personalized for each child's strengths and weaknesses. I highly recommend A+UP Charter School for parents looking for an alternative to overcrowded classrooms."

Our unparalleled personalized approach pushes students to their best.
Middle school should be a season where students discover more of who they are, rather than shy away from it. With a trauma-informed model, we take the time to understand your kid. We constantly communicate where they currently land academically and paint the picture of where they can be.
