What We Offer: A Safe Harbor for Big Dreams
Constellation School was built for Stockyard families who want more—more real attention, deeper human connection, and a brighter future for their children.
A Safe, Welcoming Home Away from Home
We believe a child can only soar when they feel completely secure. Our tight-knit K–8 campus provides a warm, protective environment where your child feels safe to take risks, ask big questions, stumble, and get right back up with confidence.
Deeply Personalized Learning
We believe no two children journey through school the exact same way. Our dedicated teachers take the time to learn your child’s unique strengths and passions, tailoring daily instruction so they are engaged and never slip through the cracks.
Educating the Whole Child: Character & SEL
We believe that true education goes far beyond standard textbooks. Hands-on enrichment and supportive daily routines are woven into each day to nurture your child’s mind, heart, and spirit—building the emotional resilience, character, and confidence they need to bloom.
Uncompromising Academics
We believe in your child’s brilliant future and hold them to high expectations because we know exactly what they are capable of. We provide all the love, rigorous curriculum, and personal scaffolding required to pave a clear path to high school success.
True Family Partnership
We believe that you are the expert on your child and an equal partner in this educational journey. We reject the standard of waiting for report cards to connect, choosing instead to keep you involved, informed, and deeply in the loop on a weekly basis.
Why “Small” Means Everything for Your Child’s Future
In a giant school, it’s easy for a quiet child to become invisible or a struggling child to be left behind. At Constellation, small is what makes us different.
1. Every Single Teacher Knows Your Child’s Name
They know what makes them smile, what makes them anxious, and exactly how to unlock their potential.
2. Immediate Support
We don’t wait for a failing grade at the end of a semester. If your child struggles socially or academically, we catch it on day one.
3. Friendships That Feel Like Family
Your child will grow up alongside a tight group of peers in a nurturing environment, forming bonds that last a lifetime.
4. A Chance to Lead
In a small school, every child gets a turn in the spotlight—whether in the classroom or in student clubs.
The choice is clear for Stockyard families.

Answers for Families Considering Constellation Schools: Stockyard Community
Is Constellation School free? Are there any hidden fees?
Yes — completely free. Constellation is a tuition-free public charter school, which means your child attends at no cost to your family. There are no enrollment fees, supply fees, or hidden charges. All Cleveland families are eligible to enroll regardless of income.
How is Constellation different from my child’s current school?
The biggest difference is size and attention. Where other schools often have 25–30+ students per classroom. At Constellation, classes average fewer than 25 students, which means your child’s teacher knows them personally — their strengths, their struggles, and their story. We also offer daily arts and enrichment that larger schools often cut due to budget constraints.
My child is mid-year — can we still enroll?
Yes, we accept students throughout the school year if space is available in your child’s grade. We know that the right time to make a change is whenever it is right for your family — not just in August. Call us or stop by and we will walk you through next steps the same day.
What if my child needs extra support — do you have special education services?
Every child is welcome at Constellation. We are committed to serving students of all abilities. We provide individualized academic support, and students with IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) receive the services to which they are entitled. Our small size means we can respond quickly and personally — not leave families waiting months for a meeting.
