The School was founded by parents, educators, and business people who wanted a more challenging education for their students.  They wanted a school that demanded an education that challenges students to achieve to their highest potential as well as put forth their best in behavior, attitude, and effort.  The School is creating a college prep educational program based on true inquiry, intellect, and character.  By focusing on students’ character and leadership qualities, in addition to developing their academic potential, the School is committed to developing young adults who are prepared to lead abundant and responsible lives as contributing members of our society.

We are the first public school in the eastern suburbs specifically dedicated to offering a demanding classical, liberal arts curriculum with an additional emphasis on development of each student’s personal character, and leadership qualities.  St. Croix Preparatory Academy will provide a learning opportunity that, until now, has only been available at select private schools.

St. Croix Preparatory Academy envisions a learning environment centered on an integrated, rigorous, standards-based, classical curriculum that encourages students to think logically and critically, to communicate effectively and to embrace life-long learning as demonstrated by their successful pursuit of post-graduate education.  The School will offer a small school community and a rigorous academic environment to area families.
