Our strength lies in developing the whole individual through the personal relationships we establish with students and their families. We empower our students to think boldly, express their opinions confidently, and engage in deep, meaningful discussions.

Metro Prep isn’t like a traditional private school. In a lot of private schools … there’s a [strict] division between students and teachers. That division was something I didn’t feel in Metro Prep Academy. It allows students to almost feel like they’re not learning under someone, but they’re learning with someone.

– Metro Prep Alum Haikun

Metro is a very open environment, open to different perspectives, open to different learning, and learning styles, and open to different experiences. I learned so much from the one-on-one conversations–they were fantastic.

– Metro Prep Alum Luka

The staff and the teachers at Metropolitan Preparatory Academy are unparalleled and they’re just so special. There is no other school that has such an incredible focus on education and student well-being.

– Metro Prep Alum Danielle

There’s a Metro vibe, and it’s not like anything I’ve felt anywhere else. It’s an accepting environment, and it doesn’t feel like school when you’re here. It feels more like a family...

– Metro Prep Alum

The key is being comfortable in your environment. I think at Metro, this is the most comfortable I’ve ever been in front of a group of people.…

– Metro Prep Alum

Metro Prep is the most inclusive school I have ever been a part of. I have never met a group of teachers and facilities that are so interested in me and my education. I absolutely love the school and the people that are a part of it.
