The Mission Preparatory School

History

The Mission Preparatory School opened in August 2011 with 50 Kindergarten students. Each subsequent year, we will enroll a new cohort of 50 Kindergarteners. We will work to ensure the school merits charter renewal and continue expanding to serve grades Kindergarten through eight. At full capacity, Mission Prep will serve a maximum of 450 students in grades K-8.

Specialties

The Mission Preparatory School equips kindergarten to eighth grade students with the knowledge, skills, and strength of character needed to succeed in college and serve as leaders in their communities. The Mission Preparatory School addresses the need for a free, public, college-preparatory school that provides a rigorous, high-quality K-8 education in San Francisco. With an uncompromising commitment to upholding the highest academic and behavioral expectations for all children, Mission Prep is designed specifically to address the learning needs of an underserved and underperforming student population. Through an intensive focus on literacy and the implementation of strategic academic support structures, we ensure mastery of essential skills and content knowledge, accelerate student achievement, support student acceptance to top high schools, and lay the foundation for every child to excel in and graduate from college.
