The reason I love working at U Prep is the feeling when you walk into the building. Scholars are happy and excited to be at school. The kids I work with everyday feel empowered and want to share what they are learning. We focus on the whole child and making kids feel safe, loved, and valued. I feel lucky to work at a school where students are put first.
