About Our School
Chattanooga Preparatory School is an all-boys public charter school that opened its doors to students in August 2018. Located in historic Highland Park and close to downtown Chattanooga, we are positioned to provide a unique and impactful educational opportunity for the young men in our urban communities. Our city has a boundless capacity for innovation, transformation, and economic prosperity. Unfortunately, these opportunities are not accessible for all members of our community, especially young men in urban core neighborhoods who are disproportionately impacted by poverty and educational inequity. We deeply and firmly believe that all students, regardless of background or zip code, have gifts and talents that may be cultivated, encouraged, and affirmed by intentional and transformative education. The families and young men of Chattanooga deserve greater opportunity and choice. Our aim is to inspire, empower, and educate the men of tomorrow in the hopes that their successes will create generational change within our communities.
