Our Mission
Global Preparatory Academy develops compassionate global leaders through a rigorous education program that focuses on hands-on, cultural and Spanish immersion learning opportunities.
GPA works to ensure every student reaches their highest potential, and focuses on parent and community engagement to achieve this goal.

The Global Prep Way
70 % of our students are from district 5, learning in two languages ​​(Spanish and English), a rigorous and culturally relevant curriculum based on state standards, high expectations for academic and social success, extended day and enrichment opportunities after school.
