Dear Community,

Welcome to Toledo Preparatory Academy!  Toledo Preparatory Academy is a learning community that values high expectations for both academics and behavior.  Our staff embraces students, families, and communities to build and develop well-rounded individuals who are independent critical thinkers, and intrinsically motivated to be lifelong learners. We believe that all children can learn as we seek to make a difference in the lives of our students.

The teachers and staff at Toledo Preparatory Academy are committed to providing a quality education for all students in a safe, secure, and nurturing learning environment. We are committed to ensuring that each child reaches his/her full potential.

In addition to core academic subjects, Toledo Preparatory Academy students have the benefit of weekly art and physical education classes. Special services available to students include special education, literacy support, and counseling.

We encourage all parents/guardians to maintain regular communications with their child’s teachers and be actively involved in the school community.  Checking the school calendar, website, and our Facebook page for events and activities will help keep you informed. We are looking forward to meeting your child and helping foster a love of learning.

Sincerely,
The Toledo Prep Administrative Team
