Welcome to University Prep Value High School

Our mission is to establish and support free, high quality, values-based charter schools for students historically underserved by traditional public schools.

At University Prep Value High School, we believe students deserve every opportunity to make smart, well-informed choices that prepare them for college and beyond. The proven success of our “UP Process” provides students with opportunities to identify their strengths, weaknesses, and career interests.

I belong in this academic community;
My ability and competence grow with my effort;
I can succeed at this; and
This work has value for me.
