University Preparatory Charter School for Young Men

A school should not feel like a building families visit only when something has gone wrong.

It should feel like a community where families are welcomed, partnerships are valued, students are celebrated, and people work together to create better outcomes.

At UPrep, community is not an event on the calendar.
It is how we support scholars.

How we engage families.
How we create opportunity.
How we change the narrative.

A young man can be surrounded by people and still feel unseen.

At UPrep, we believe every scholar deserves adults who know his name, recognize his strengths, notice when something has changed, and refuse to allow him to disappear into the background.

Our scholars are:

Known enough to be understood.
Guided enough to make better decisions.
Challenged enough to keep growing.

That is mentorship with purpose.

A big thank you to our incredible UPrep staff and volunteers who represented our school at the 58th Annual Corn Hill Festival this past weekend.

What a great weekend for UPrep! We had the opportunity to connect with current and prospective families, engage with foundation supporters, and build relationships with community members who are passionate about creating more opportunities for our students. We also made valuable connections that can help strengthen our curriculum, expand student programming, support staff development, and grow the impact of the UPrep Foundation.

Every conversation mattered, and every connection moved our mission forward. Thank you for showing our community what UPrep is all about.
UPREP Proud!
