What makes us different

There are many unique aspects about University Prep Academy but none more so than the students who attend here. At UPrep, our students and their parents/guardians play an integral role in mapping out their educational path. Interests, passions and each child’s natural curiosity drive individual learning plans and projects.  

Unique elements of University Prep Academy include:

  • Small classes- each class is comprised of 17-18 students who stay together with the same advisor for multiple school years
  • Small school - each grade is limited to less than 70 students
  • Individualized learning plan for each student
  • Active parental involvement in developing student learning plan
  • A rigorous college-prep curriculum
  • Project-driven learning
  • Interactive exhibitions and narratives for grading, tracking progress and learning
  • Real-world experiences
  • A unique school developed in partnership with GRPS and business and community leaders
