School Notes Overview: |
Tampa Preparatory School is a coeducational college preparatory school for students in grades 6 – 12. Our educational philosophy instills values of fairness, decency, honor, diligence and academic curiosity. As students discover their unique identities, they are enriched by a variety of fine and performing arts courses. Athletics and extracurricular activities provide additional opportunities for growth and expression. Open discussions, labs and seminars allow students to form opinions and express ideas, further sharpening their critical thinking skills.
Our focus extends beyond typical college preparation to provide a preparation for life with a higher purpose than self. Our belief in a well-rounded education is reflected in our mission: A place to think, create, be yourself, aspire to excellence and go beyond. Our faculty members are role models who include these tenets in their teaching and in their lives. ...read more
