Rigorous Academics
Prep offers 51 AP & Honors Level Courses, which students can access as early as freshman year. Ninety-nine percent of our students enroll in a 4-year college or university, and 89% of our 2024 graduating class received a college scholarship.
YOU will be equipped to succeed here too. Check out our Browning Learning Center.
Our Browning Learning Center is a hallmark program, one of only a few of its kind, which provides a structured, supportive environment for Prep students who have a current Individualized Education Plan (IEP or ISP), 504 plan, psycho-educational report recommending intervention, or documentation from a neurologist indicating ADHD.
The Browning Center represents our commitment to providing a structured program in which students with learning differences can receive the support they need to succeed in Prep’s rigorous academic environment. All our students are challenged and equipped to take on our complete curriculum and held to the standard we know they can be empowered to achieve. The curriculum is not modified in any way.
