As we plan for the upcoming school year, we wanted to bring to your attention to the re-enrollment process. We have seen a surge in interest in recent months as parents seek out a school worthy of their trust and dedicated to a higher purpose than a merely utilitarian educational experience.

Schools such as Scottsdale Prep are rare. We stand athwart the educational landscape which prefers the latest and greatest rather than the tried and true. Our curriculum is different, as it recognizes the wisdom of the ancients and the value of the works of classical antiquity for their ability to not just teach, but to give moral instruction. Scottsdale Prep students distinguish themselves from their peers as they talk and debate about higher things, are exposed to the foundational texts of Western Civilization, and pursue the true, the good, and the beautiful, rather than the popular and faddish. And our school purpose is different – with the aim of producing well-rounded, articulate young men and women who understand the primacy of virtue and are ready to live a full and flourishing life.

So must our parents be unique as well. While many parents leave the education of their children to chance, hoping the local school will shepherd their children to a place worth going, our parents are not willing to gamble their children’s education on a wish. Instead, our parents seek out the best education for their children and invest their time and treasure into the success of that school – leaving nothing to fortune.

We look forward to continuing this journey with our students and thus urge you to prioritize the re-enrollment process to avoid any unnecessary complications. Our 257 new enrollments for next year as well as our waitlist of 310 underscores the high demand for the exceptional educational experience offered by Scottsdale Preparatory Academy. We will see you next year!
