Urban Prep Academies is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates a network of all-boys public schools including the c ... ountry’s first charter high school for boys. Urban Prep’s mission is to provide a high-quality and comprehensive college-preparatory educational experience to young men that results in our graduates succeeding in college. The schools are a direct response to the urgent need to reverse abysmal graduation and college completion rates among boys in urban centers. While most of Urban Prep students come to the schools from economically disadvantaged households and reading 3 or more years below grade level, Urban Prep remains committed to preparing all of its students for college and life. Your support of Aces UP! will help Urban Prep continue this important work. More information about Urban Prep is available at www.urbanprep.org. read more
