Imagine a world where every child—regardless of income—has access to a high-quality, technology-driven, student-centered education. At BE Ingenious, we’re making this a reality by pioneering Texas’s first tuition-free microschool, The Ingenious School. Founded by Rochelle Brown Anderson, a fourth-generation educator and Houston native, our mission is to prepare K-8 students for early college and career readiness through immersive, real-world learning experiences.

We integrate cutting-edge technology—from virtual reality glasses to smart boards—to transform education into an engaging, hands-on journey. Our tuition-free model ensures accessibility for diverse communities, empowering students with critical thinking, problem-solving, and STEM-based skills. In just 12 months, we aim to secure funding to cover 90% of operational costs, grow enrollment by 10%, and achieve measurable academic and social-emotional gains.

With a case support marketing strategy, we can expand our reach, provide innovative programs tuition-free, and redefine education for Houston’s future leaders. Together, we can break barriers, close achievement gaps, and create a brighter future for all students. Are you ready to be ingenious with us?

The marketing professional will have full access to the necessary financial data and current marketing collateral. We will also ensure availability of program beneficiaries for interview if needed.

BE Ingenious Mission: BE Ingenious empowers a community of learners with an identity-based, student-centered, technology-driven curriculum. Our unique focus on college and career readiness encourages students to leverage their gifts and talents to transform the 21st century.
