Learn What Makes Uplift Education Different
You have choices for your child’s education. For more than three decades, families have chosen Uplift Education because we do things differently.
A Proven Formula for Success
Families in Dallas-Fort Worth have more school choices than ever. Uplift stands out because our results are proven. For more than 30 years, every Uplift graduate has been accepted to college. Our alumni finish college at four times the national rate for students like them.
Those results come from our Whole Scholar Approach. It rests on four pillars that work together: challenging lessons built by our own staff, a Road to College & Career that starts in middle school and goes well past high school, a school culture where every child feels safe and valued, and families who are true partners.
Academics
Uplift scholars love to learn. Our own team of teaching experts writes the lessons your child learns every day, built just for Uplift students and covering everything Texas requires. These include reading, writing, math, science, social studies, and the arts.
To guide how we teach, we use the International Baccalaureate (IB®), a way of teaching trusted by schools around the world. IB isn’t a textbook. It’s an approach that helps children ask questions, think problems through, and see how school connects to real life. That’s why our scholars don’t just memorize facts. They understand them and know how to use them.
Road to College & Career
Our Road to College & Career (RTCC) program starts in middle school and keeps going after graduation, through college and into a career. In middle and high school, scholars visit college campuses, learn about different jobs, and take part in internships. RTCC counselors help each scholar and family choose the right path for them. After graduation, alumni counselors keep supporting Uplift graduates through college and into their first jobs.
Strong Scholar Culture
A strong scholar culture means caring about who our scholars are becoming, not only what they know. Well-being programs help scholars build the social and emotional skills they need to manage challenges, form healthy relationships and make thoughtful decisions. Clubs, extracurriculars and athletics help them build character, discover their strengths, nurture friendships and learn to lead.
Connected Families
At Uplift, families are partners in their child’s education. Each school is a close community where families support one another. We invite parents and guardians to visit, volunteer, and take an active part in their child’s learning and future. You’ll stay informed and involved every step of the way, from your child’s first day of Pre-K to their college and career planning in high school.
Our scholars know the difference.
