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!"

Wogbe, 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."

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."

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 iook 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."
