We help each child develop into their best self.

At University Prep (U Prep), we partner with our families to ensure all of our scholars build college-prep academic skills, a strong sense of character, and powerful visions for their futures. Together, we build an unbreakable foundation that leads to infinite opportunities.

About U Prep

A different result requires a different approach.

In Colorado, less than 30% of students of color earn a post-secondary degree following high school. Among U Prep alumni, that figure is more than 90%. We do school differently here because we’re driving for a different result.
