  • At College Prep

    Where will curiosity take you?
    At College Prep, we all love to learn. And academics are just the beginning. 

    Here, you’ll experience the intensive, intentional curriculum for which we’re known. With your classmates and teachers, you’ll debate, discover, and create meaningful ways to apply your learning in the wider world. 

    Our extraordinary teachers also give you the time, tools, and encouragement to pursue your own interests and talents as far as you want to go. At College Prep, we don’t one-up each other; we lift each other up.

    Why College Prep

  • —Parent

    If you have the ability to give your kids four years at College Prep, you’re giving them something wonderful. Wherever they go next, they’ll have been in this environment, and have a foundation of critical thinking, collaboration, self-advocacy. 

  • —Student '26

    What stood out to me when I first visited College Prep was how passionate all the students were. Everybody was in a discussion, writing something down, paying attention. I knew I could benefit from being around people who would make each other want to learn.

  • —Faculty Member

    What makes a student thrive here is the same reason why it's such a great place to teach: the students here just want to swallow the ocean of knowledge and engage with learning.

  • —Parent

    The students here have reached a level of excellence, in some way or another, that’s unusual for someone their age. But they’re humble. It’s like you bring your gift to the school and to your peers, and then you appreciate others’ excellence as a gift to you. That is remarkable.

  • —Faculty Member

    College Prep students love raising their hand and want more kids raising their hands. They love being in a place where they’re not the tallest poppy, where everyone is looking for ways to learn.
