St. Louis College Prep

South City Preparatory Academy's mission is to prepare students to enter, succeed in, and graduate from college by challenging students academically and emphasizing the importance of character and community responsibility. South City Prep currently enrolls 5th-9th grade students and is expanding the high school by one grade every year. Our vision is that by 2020, South City Preparatory Academy will be the highest performing non-select middle and high school in St. Louis. At the end of 8th grade, students attending South City Preparatory Academy will be academically prepared for an intense college preparatory high school and will design and implement their own service learning program. Students in their junior and senior years at South City Preparatory Academy will enroll in college level courses at South City Preparatory Academy and/or be dually enrolled at local colleges or universities. Graduating seniors will not only meet the requirements of the state of Missouri, but will also have completed at least 8 credits of college level course work. All South City Preparatory Academy high school students will identify a need in their community and design a community program to fill that need. 100% of the graduates from South City Preparatory Academy will attend some form of post-secondary education.
