Dear Parents,

Thank you for your interest in University Preparatory School, a high achieving top ranked public charter school. Its mission to immerse all students “in rigorous academics and meaningful extra-curricular activities” is supported by a collaborative and close-knit community of staff, students, and parents and is based upon educational research and professional experience. The faculty and staff work together to provide students with many opportunities to excel academically and develop their potential as educated leaders and citizens in the 21st century through a rich and varied extra-curricular program. This vision is supported by offering a seven-period day to students from grades 6 through 12 so that they may pursue academic interests, such as studying multiple world languages or continue their development in the arts, including dance, drama, art, and music. The objective of this mission is to enable all students to become self-motivated, competent, and life-long learners.
