Welcome to ASU Preparatory Academy

Welcome to the ASU Preparatory Academy family. ASU Preparatory Academy is an innovative and thriving PreK through 12 public charter school. Chartered by Arizona State University, we have grown to serve more than 2,200 students at our Phoenix, Mesa and now our Casa Grande locations.
We strive to equip each of our students with the knowledge and training to graduate high school and be successful in college. We believe that a strong college-going community is imperative for the success of our students, our community and our state.
According to a 2014 report by Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce, an estimated 68 % of all jobs in Arizona will require a post-secondary education by the year 2020. ASU Preparatory Academy believes that every student can achieve a post-secondary education, and has designed its coursework and mentorship programs to make sure that belief becomes a reality.
ASU Prep’ s Mission
Our mission is to provide optimum environments for learning, helping all students become innovative leaders and problem solvers who are prepared for success in college and their preferred careers.
“ ASU Prep has a model that can potentially have an impact beyond the borders of Arizona.”
– George Harris, CEO of the Pike & Susan Sullivan Foundation
“ I love my job here! I wish every educator was able to experience a school like this; an organization that cares so much about every individual.”
