Uncertainty is the seedbed of learning.
As a middle school parent or student, the changes we've all experienced in 2020 have been particularly tough. So, first off, we thank you for hanging in there, for seeking out the best opportunities in middle school education, and for visiting us today! No school can claim to have been ready for a global pandemic, and A+UP is no exception. But through it all, we didn't miss a day of learning because this is the home of the phoenix! A place where we grow students into scholars by teaching them how to use challenges to rise and grow.
We've got the A+ tech and innovative model that enables "anywhere, anytime" instruction. We've got the A+ teaching team that coach young adults to become better thinkers and better people. We've got the curious and quirky A+ culture that emphasizes character development as much as academic development. And we've got an A+ community of engaged parents who you can hear from directly in the section below. But the most important thing that we have is the unlimited potential of our kids! So, please use the navigation button at the top right of the page to take a look around and let us show you why enrolling at A+UP may be a good choice for you.
Get Caught UP
Asia, Graduate of A+UP
"I spent a lot of time focusing on everything except for school, but A+UP coaches helped me realize that I needed to change and set goals for my future. With their support, I grew multiple years in math and reading and got much higher scores on STAAR than before. I have a solid foundation for high school now. A+UP helped me grow and grow up!"
A+UP Parent
"I've heard and thought a lot about the need for educational reform. It's great to be a part of a school that's developing such an innovative approach that will equip these kids to be successful in the 21st-century workforce."
A+UP Parent
“If you are looking for a school for your child to learn outside of the box, and to become their own person, to own their own education, and be prepared for the world, A+UP is it.”
A+UP Parent
“She is a testament to how the program works.”
A+UP Parent
“The moment Alex was the happiest is when he comes home and he actually understands what he is learning. It’s not just him getting a project. But he is truly understanding what it is about. That makes us very happy.”
Vysen, 7th Grade Scholar
"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."
A+UP Parent
“A+UP is so good at teaching those basic skills and holding the kids accountable and helping them to practice and feel comfortable and natural with those skills.”
A+UP Parent
“Their passion is there. They want to help students grow. Not only academically, but also with their social and emotional skills as well, which is just as important to ensure there is character building in your child’s life.”
A+UP Parent
“They are truly dedicated to your child’s education, to their well-being, and to your child’s feeling that they can take on the world.”
A+UP Parent
“A+ has provided him that foundation and critical thinking skills for that next level.”
Haelee, 7th Grade Scholar
"I have ADHD, so it can be hard for me to pay attention. A+UP changed all of that. The small classes, small group lessons, one-on-one tutoring and a great relationship with my coaches helped me so much. By the end of the year, I took a Lexia test and was reading on a tenth-grade level. I jumped a thousand points on the STAAR test! If I hadn't started going to A+UP, I would not be on track to go to college."
A+UP Parent
“The moment we knew A+ was for us was technically the moment we walked in. The coaches made us feel so welcome. They made us feel so at home while answering all of our questions.”
A+UP Parent
“If you’re still looking for a school, ...please do consider A+UP. It’s been a wonderful environment for our son. It’s been a very welcoming, supportive environment for us as parents. We can’t say enough about what a great experience it’s been for us.”
