The team at STRIVE Prep inspires its students to think critically, communicate clearly and collaborate openly, while fueling their curiosity and creativity. Whether students join the community in elementary, middle or high school, STRIVE elevates expectations, promotes a shared sense of responsibility and, above all, creates an environment that protects and promotes the academic, social, and emotional well-being of every child, every day.
