Charter schools have been around in Texas since 1995. While the structure and accountability for schools has evolved over the years, high performing charter networks like Uplift Education have risen to the top of the education landscape. Every year, more and more families in Texas are choosing a public charter school for their child’s public education.
Uplift’s mission is to create and sustain public schools of excellence that empower students to reach their highest potential in college and the global marketplace and that inspire in students a life-long love of learning, achievement, and service in order to positively change their world.
