OUR VISION

Building Bright Futures

We envision a world where every scholar realizes their greatness inside and outside of school, and where classrooms are beacons of the community, fostering courageous learners, critical thinkers, and resilient leaders with strong personal agency.

CORE VALUES

Scholarship

A Public Prep education instills how important and fun it is to learn new things every day.

CORE VALUES

Excellence

We prepare every scholar to realize their inherent greatness. Our scholars learn how to achieve great things every day and define excellence for themselves no matter their age.

CORE VALUES

Community

Our educators lead by example and work together to support our scholars. In turn, a community wraps around our scholars as they encourage, support, and look out for one another.

CORE VALUES

Integrity

We believe our scholars must be true to their word and stand up for what's right. We push them to always be honest with themselves and others.
