Celebrating its 25th anniversary, Milwaukee College Prep is a leading network of four K4-8th grade public charter schools and a K3 early childhood program that every child in Milwaukee is eligible to attend free of charge. Grounded in our belief that “knowledge plus character pave the road to college and beyond,” and delivering our program in joy-filled, identity-affirming spaces, Milwaukee College Prep is absolutely determined to provide our scholars with the foundation necessary to lead lives of choice and have access to their dreams.
Our scholars’ joy and academic achievement further prove what the research indicates: that an uncompromising K-8 education delivered by determined, loving, well-trained teachers in every classroom makes the difference. Realizing this, we provide our teachers with quality, ongoing support and feedback in an environment where they can grow and flourish. And it doesn’t stop there. Our ultimate goal is for every child in Milwaukee to receive an uncompromising education. We owe it to them and to ourselves. So while our nearly 2,000 scholars benefit most directly from our practices, our reach is far greater. We have become a model network, welcoming thousands of teachers and administrators annually to share techniques, strategies and philosophies that can be replicated in their own schools.
