U Prep Schools

UNIVERSITY PREP

Position: Elementary Teachers

Our Mission: Building a foundation of skills, knowledge and character, University Prep educates every K-5 scholar for a four-year college degree and life of opportunity.

Why you’ll love us: 

 

"We have been a part of the University Prep family from the beginning. Over the past school years,

I've been so proud to see my child grow, learn, and g et the support that

I feel every child should receive.” – U Prep Parent

 

In 2011, University Prep opened the doors to its first elementary campus. Fast forward 12 years later and

our founding scholars are now enrolled in their first year of post-secondary programming.

 

With 81% of U Prep alumni on track for post-secondary degree and credential attainment, 

U Prep is living its mission. 

 

Our scholars represent a 2.5X improvement when compared with their peer group statewide.

They are beating the odds and pursuing their dreams and ambitions as they enter young adulthood and make 

choices about their futures. 

 

We couldn’t be prouder of our now college-going alumni, but more importantly,

they couldn’t be prouder of themselves. 

 

Watch this video to hear from them directly and learn more about who we are as an organization

and why we exist. 

 

While you may love us because of the depth of our commitment to our mission and the integrity we carry each day

to bring it to life, we believe your initial love will come from the investment we make in our people.
