Palo Alto Prep

2462 Wyandotte Street, Mountain View, CA, 94043-0943
A tightly knit school community, Palo Alto Prep operates on two assumptions: Teenagers want to feel good about themselves and they want to enjoy school. In response to that, both staff and students strive to understand and appreciate individual differences, and they build fun and variety into learning. Palo Alto Prep ensures that every student “fits in,” because teachers adapt to the student’s learning style and they develop a foundation for self-esteem and personal responsibility. Students are taught to think, to solve problems and to operate creatively, and 95 percent of graduates go directly to college. State certified and accredited by WASC, Palo Alto Prep helps students see and experience the best in themselves.
