Dear Parents,
-
Welcome to Main Preparatory Academy! We are a tuition-free public charter school serving exceptional families in grades K-5. We work to offer our scholars, parents and families an excellent, high-quality education. Because of our ability to focus on individual scholar needs, our parents lovingly remark that Main Preparatory Academy has a ‘private school feel’ without the tuition! Our curriculum emphasizes small group learning which allow our dedicated teachers to focus on the needs of each individual child. We place a high emphasis on parent involvement and require parent participation.
Our parents are our strongest allies in helping our scholars learn today so that they can lead tomorrow. We believe that our scholars deserve a bright, healthy learning environment where they are accepted for who they are. We teach children by emphasizing their strengths so they can develop their weaknesses. Thus, internalizing what it is that they need to define and meet their own idea of success.
We offer a variety of programs and services to assist our scholars and families:
- No Cost Meal Plans
- Free Transportation for scholars within a 2-mile radius
- Free Tutoring Services
- Free Latchkey Before and After School Care
- Full-Time On-Site Social Worker
- Partnership with Phalen Leadership Academies
- Summer Advantage: A nationally recognized summer learning program that is offered to our scholars at no cost. Summer Advantage, not to be confused with summer school, offers rigorous, research-based academic instruction and a wide variety of hands-on enrichment classes to improve student achievement and continue to transform learning throughout the summer. Participants receive two healthy meals a day, daily recreation, and an exciting environment where they can flourish academically and build confidence as leaders.
- In addition, scholars participate in field trips, college campus visits, college prep, and scholar-led community service projects. Through innovative learning experiences, scholars gain confidence that supports their success when they return to school in the fall. This program is free for PLA schools and scholars across the country. Learn more at SummerAdvantage.org.
