Every aspect of YES Prep’s curriculum is tied to our mission to empower all Houston students to succeed in their education and pursue lives of opportunities. Our campuses are located across the city and house students from Pre-K to 12th Grade. 

We celebrate the diverse talents and passions that make each student unique. Our commitment runs deep, fostering hands-on STEM lessons that fuel problem-solving and critical thinking. Students find their voice through engaging performances and may even aspire to compete for a state title. At our core, we believe that every day is an opportunity to say, “Yes, I can!”
