HIGH SCHOOL (9-12) TO COLLEGE AND BEYOND

Every aspect of YES Prep’s curriculum and culture is tied to our mission of empowering all Houston students to succeed in college and embrace lives of opportunity. From the first time students step onto a YES Prep campus, to the moment they walk across the stage at graduation, every student is prepared for the academic demands of college entrance exams and the admissions process, as well as their continued academic journey. YES Prep is supporting tomorrow’s leaders through access to a high-quality education today!

PREPARED TO LEAD

YES Prep students are held to higher academic standards than their peers in most traditional independent school districts. Our curriculum views the state’s requirements as the floor, not the ceiling, for educational achievement, preparing students for a successful life beyond their high school graduation. High school students have access to Advanced Placement coursework in English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and World Languages, among many other exciting classes. The Advanced Placement program allows students the opportunity to earn college credit with qualifying AP exam scores at the end of each course term.

SAT PREP AT YES PREP

Given the power SAT scores have to open doors for our students, YES Prep has made SAT Prep a priority. YES Prep is proud to offer our students 25 hours of in-school Kaplan SAT Prep through our Junior Seminar Class. Our College Prep Seminar classes offer support with career exploration, identity exploration, academic readiness, and college application guidance and support. Seminar classes are offered in 9th-12th grade.

PERSONALIZED COLLEGE COUNSELING

While the Texas student-to-counselor ratio is 350:1, YES Prep boasts a ratio of 1 college counselor per 50 students. This allows every YES Prep student to receive individualized counseling and support throughout the college selection and application process. We help students find the best fit for them and our college counselors also work with families to create a personalized college affordability plan.
