Urban Prep Academies is a leading nonprofit organization that operates a network of all-boys public schools, including the country's first charter high school for boys. With a mission to provide a high-quality and comprehensive college-preparatory educational experience, Urban Prep is dedicated to ensuring its graduates succeed in college. Currently, Urban Prep Academies operates three open enrollment public charter high schools in high-need communities in Chicago.

Urban Prep's innovative curriculum, called The ARCS, embraces the unique experiences of urban young men and molds them into well-rounded students that colleges covet. This comprehensive program consists of four pillars: Academic Arc, Service Arc, Activity Arc, and Enrichment Arc. Through these pillars, Urban Prep promotes a rigorous college-prep curriculum, deepens students' sense of responsibility, requires them to participate in school-sponsored activities, and provides opportunities to spend time in professional settings or on college campuses.

In addition to its academic offerings, Urban Prep also offers support programs for its alumni, ensuring their success in college. Through financial contributions, partnerships, and volunteering, individuals can play a part in fulfilling Urban Prep's mission. By enrolling in Urban Prep Academies, young men are empowered to believe in their potential and exceed it.
