College Preparatory School

read moreAt College Prep we value the unique time that is high school. As our students grow, they develop their abilities, test ideas, question assumptions, grapple with ethical issues, make long-lasting friends, and cultivate their character. Our blend of high academic standards, personal responsibility, and kindness creates a unique learning community. Guided by exceptional and caring teachers, mentors, and coaches, our students engage with each other and the increasingly interconnected world. College Prep is a home for ideas, discovery, and engagement—intellectual pursuits that our students treasure.

Conversations that start in the classroom spill over into the courtyard; curiosity leads from one insight or question to the next. Our students discover and develop their intellectual and creative voices in an environment where high standards are the norm and the spirit of inquiry is palpable. College Prep students come to the school from over fifty different middle schools to learn with and from each other.
