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 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.
