U Prep Schools – Innovative Leaders in Urban Education
As one of Detroit’s oldest and largest charter schools serving over 4,800 children in grades K-12, our mission is to ensure students achieve success in life. We do this through a resource-rich learning community, the innovative expeditionary learning model, state-of-the-art schools, a community committed to its culture, a safe and nurturing environment that is ripe for learning and the Detroit 90/90 Promise; that all schools achieve a 90% graduation and college admissions rate.
Comprised of 3 school districts and 10 schools; University Prep Academy, U Prep Art & Design and U Prep Science & Math the UPrep network provides students with career pathway programs and unique learning opportunities. Students who attend our schools obtain an awareness of what is possible in life, an opportunity to ignite passions from within, and the support to help them achieve their academic and career goals.
This year marks our 20th Anniversary! We are proud of our continued success in preparing students for both college and career. Our success is due to the vision, commitment, passion, and talent of our leadership, faculty and staff. Thanks to them we are known as innovative leaders in urban education who are truly committed to the families we serve.
