Disrupting The Status Quo
STEM Prep Schools is a free, public charter school network in South Los Angeles serving grades TK–12 across three campuses in West Adams and Jefferson Park. Founded in 2015, it is open to all students and specializes in STEM education for underrepresented communities.
Mission & Vision
The mission of STEM Prep Schools is:
