Character

Character

We go way beyond academics with character at the core of our education.

Our schools go well beyond a foundation of academic skills and knowledge with an explicit focus on character development. For our young people to achieve their life ambitions, they have to establish a strong and confident character. There’s no better time to lay the groundwork for building good humans than in elementary school.

Our Values

Pride

We take pride in everything we do.

Responsibility

We own our words and actions.

Enthusiasm

We celebrate ourselves and each other.

Perseverance

We believe, the struggle makes us stronger.

Children from a young age establish an ability to reflect on the choices they make and the impact they have on themselves and those around them.

Whether it’s showing pride in your work, owning your words and actions, or maintaining excitement while working through a challenging task, our young people build incredible character and it sticks with them well into adulthood.

I carry the PREP values from my elementary experience because holding them close reminds me I can do anything.

After high school I’m heading to Regis University where I’ll attend their nursing program on the path to a Master’s of Science in Nursing in pursuit of becoming a travel nurse. U Prep taught me about the importance of education and that everyone can make a difference in this world.
