Mission & Vision

The mission of STEM Prep Schools is:

…to operate a small network of high performing schools, in a targeted area of Los Angeles
…and develop TK – 12th grade scholars into successful college graduates and professionals,
…through equal access and inspiration, rigorous curriculum, and a commitment to our core Values.

The vision of STEM Prep Schools is to create a kindergarten through college pipeline of individuals who will transform their community by closing the socio-economic, ethnic, and gender gaps in STEM fields, and serving as role models who exhibit scholarliness, advocacy, perseverance, and kindness.

 

 

At STEM Prep Schools we believe it’s not just about getting a degree but rather does that degree open a pathway for what comes next for these graduates.
