Palo Alto Prep
Tel: (650)493-7071
- 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.
