Meeting your child where they are.

At Uplift Education, every classroom is led by a caring teacher who knows how to meet each child exactly where they are. Our teachers build relationships first — taking the time to understand how each student learns, where they’re excelling, and where they need more support — because strong instruction starts with knowing the individual child, not just the curriculum.

Certification

Will my child have a teacher who is certified?

Uplift Education classroom teachers must meet the same professional standards required of teachers in any Texas public school. Thus all teachers in certification-required positions are certified or on track toward certification.

Certification requirements at Uplift are not lowered or waived because we’re a charter network — our teaching staff is held to the same bar as any traditional public school district.

More attention for every student

What is the student-to-teacher ratio at Uplift Education?

As a public school system, Uplift Education follows the same state-mandated classroom size limits as any Texas public school district. Every Pre-K  classroom includes a paraprofessional alongside the lead teacher, and many other classrooms throughout our campuses are staffed with a paraprofessional as well to help maintain a comfortable, attentive ratio.

This added support means students get more individualized attention throughout the day, whether they’re working through a tricky concept or simply need an extra check-in. Uplift campuses also tend to run fewer sections per grade level than larger districts, contributing to the close-knit, small school feel families notice from Pre-K through high school.

Does Uplift Education offer special education and inclusion support?

Yes. It’s a common misconception that charter schools don’t offer the same range of student services found in traditional public schools.

Required by Federal Law

Every public charter school — including Uplift — must provide special education services and a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to eligible students, just like any traditional public school district.

In-house, not Contracted out

Some charter schools contract services through the local district or a third party. At Uplift, inclusion specialists and special education teachers are part of the in-house team at every campus.

Side by Side with Classroom Teachers

Our specialists work directly alongside classroom teachers to support students with diverse learning needs, accommodations, and individualized education programs (IEPs).
