School Notes
We believe that every young man wants to be a part of something
great. He wants to become as wise, as strong, as brave, and as
respected as he can be. We also believe that each young man can
become his very best self when he discovers that responsibility and
hard work can make anything possible. Capable young men with this
potential to achieve are the young men of Southern Prep.
Since its founding in 1898, the focus of our school has been to
provide students with opportunity. The opportunity to experience
something more; to do something bigger; to be someone better. This
same transformational experience remains at the core of the
school`s mission today and is rooted in Southern Prep`s close-knit
community of adults and students living and learning together in an
environment that balances challenge and support.
We are an independent boarding school committed to preparing
young men of integrity and strength for leadership in college and
beyond. Our graduates are proud to be Southern Prep men. Proud of
their achievements. Proud of their success. Proud to be a part of
something great.
Decades ago private schools could have been accused of being elitist. You had to have money to attend. The student populations were fairly homogeneous. Fortunately that has changed.
The average private school tuition in Alabama is $7,224 for elementary schools and $7,742 for high schools (read more about average private school tuition across the country).
