At Palo Alto Prep
we do what it takes.

“Palo Alto Prep quite literally changed our lives and most importantly, our daughter is now on a path that only a few years ago didn’t seem possible.”

“I am a parent. My child transferred from Palo Alto High his Sophomore year. He was down, discouraged and had lacked confidence at his previous public school. Today he is accepted to one of the top universities, he is a soccer player, he speaks a new language. He is a happy, positive individual with a bright future. We could not have achieved this without the support of PAP.”

“Palo Alto Prep is a wonderful, transformative, caring, safe place for students to learn and be themselves. Since going there, my child is happier and less stressed out.”

School wasn’t built with your high-schooler in mind.
We are.

You want a safe partnership between your school, your teachers, and your one-of-a-kind family. Palo Alto Prep has been providing solutions to families since 1986. We adapt every day to implement effective changes based on your student’s individual needs. We offer a combination of remote and in-person electives so your child can have a full day. Examples of electives are SCUBA, paddle boarding, sailing, and more. Some electives are even offered on Saturdays. Our students have synchronous learning all-day, meaning your child is face-to-face with their teachers getting realtime instruction all-day. The combination of remote instruction and in person electives allows for a full curriculum and socialization opportunities.

All too often, student experiences are governed by their weaknesses instead of their strengths. They define themselves by their failures and frustrations rather than their capabilities.

Compassionate, Experienced Staff

Your child needs a unique and individualized program. How can you finally feel they are understood, accepted, and cared for rather than being treated like a number or a problem? Palo Alto Prep focuses on high-quality education as a component of development alongside social and emotional responsibility. We recognize the person while holding them to the standards we believe in.

Flexible College Preparatory Curriculum

You want your young adult to be prepared for an independent and successful life. Palo Alto Prep helps them find and explore their passions through practical application. In addition, we have rolled out a calendar of social events, exercise programs, and games. We are in touch so our students don’t have to lose touch.

Welcoming, Diverse Social Opportunities

You need a compassionate and effective approach to your high schooler’s social development. By curating a scaffolded social engagement environment with dynamic staff, we cultivate a community that promotes growth for all levels rather than one that punishes and humiliates students who are left out.

For over 35 years, Palo Alto Prep has developed innovative programs that we adapt to the students needs. It should be no surprise, then, that when the Bay Area announced a Shelter-in-Place order on March 16th, we had our students all logged in to their online classrooms the same day. We transitioned to a full 6 hour schedule the following day. We developed a diverse set of online classes and in-person classes to further enhance your child’s social and emotional wellbeing. We didn’t miss a beat.
