FROM OUR COMMUNITY
“I believe we have the most amazing teachers in the world. We get to be surrounded and inspired by adults who are doing what they love and get to learn from people with unique experiences and viewpoints. I can safely say that UPrep has given me the tools and the confidence to go out into the world and make a change.” -UPrep student
“With two completely different learners in our house, finding our family’s best fit without having them in two different schools was a hurdle. UPrep has exceeded our expectations. The faculty and staff all know my children and family. The amount of teachers who care about our children’s success has been overwhelming. From becoming new members of the community and feeling right at home from the start, to now looking for colleges with a high schooler, our family has utilized every aspect of the school’s expertise, compassion, and experience to take our children to the next stage in their lives.” -UPrep parent
“UPrep fostered my ability to think critically while learning about the world and my place in it. I experienced seven years of subtle and grand moments that stitched together my educational and personal foundation. I learned we are a part of a larger community, and it is my responsiblity to support and lift those around me.” -UPrep alumna
