GENERATION ONE ACADEMY

Generation One Academy is a Christian non-profit, early childhood education center in Houston’s Third Ward. The Academy works to take away obstacles hindering the effective delivery of instruction to underserved children, through evidence based practices that integrate social and emotional learning and develop growth mindset and trust-based relationships. Our mission is to provide the highest quality early childhood education to all students and their families.

Like children everywhere, underserved children need to feel that they belong and have attainable potential. They need dreams that are not bound by reality but fueled by hope, sustained by achievement and made real by work, commitment and acting on opportunities. This begins in the formative, foundational years from 3 to 5 years old. Our goal is to equip each student with the academic and social skills necessary for life readiness. When Individualized instruction, therapeutic intervention and postive trust-based relationship between teacher and student are combined, this goal is readily attainable.

Generation One Academy replaces the “traditional classroom” with a collaborative community. Classrooms are small with 14 students who are led by a teacher, aide and volunteers. Our curricula seamlessly integrates academic and social emotional learning in order to develop strong character and positive decision making. We are committed to ensuring that every child receive this balance of instruction so they can be successful throughout their academic careers and beyond.

Every student's progress is measured bi-annually to accurately track growth and areas of need. We use multi-modal teaching that stimulates every learner. We use intentional sensory play to meet developmental needs. We also provide physical education and creative expression to promote holistic growth. Brain conscious breakfast, lunch and snacks are provided daily.
