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.
Why Choose A Boys School?
-
Boys thrive when learning is active, structured, and built for movement and challenge. Our classrooms are not quiet rows or long lectures. They are spaces filled with energy, focus, and purpose. Through hands on work and healthy competition, boys stay engaged and push themselves. This is more than school. It is preparation for life.
-
In too many spaces, boys learn to hide their questions, their fears, and their emotions. Here, that ends. We see them fully. We know their names, their strengths, their struggles. Then we ask more of them. We build the confidence to speak, the discipline to lead, and the courage to rise. These boys are not just noticed. They are needed.
-
In a single gender environment shaped with boys in mind, distractions fade and focus takes hold. Without the pressure to impress or compete for attention, boys are free to engage fully in their learning, their friendships, and their own growth. In that clarity, they begin to take true ownership of who they are becoming.
-
When boys are seen, supported, and encouraged to pursue what they love, they begin to discover who they truly are. Confidence grows not from perfection, but from purpose. In a space where authenticity is valued, our boys learn to lead with integrity, resilience, and nothing to prove
-
Leadership is not about status. It is about action, consistency, and strength of character. Our boys earn their influence by showing up, serving others, and doing what is right even when it is hard. Through mentorship, accountability, and real responsibility, they learn that true leadership means lifting others up.
