Success is not accidental. It is the purposeful pursuit of everyday excellence. Thea Bowman Preparatory Academy Public Charter School offers every student the opportunity to find success in and out of the classroom, opening the doors to a world of possibilities where the quest for learning happens every day. As a Core Knowledge school, our curriculum supports academic excellence, greater fairness, and higher literacy by providing instruction that is solid, sequenced, specific, and shared in order to help every child establish a strong foundation of knowledge for success in high school, college, and beyond. The transition to the middle grades is both an exciting and crucial time for students and their families. We know the importance of choosing the right school for your child. That is why Thea Bowman Prep offers a solid education in a supportive, preparatory environment that responds to the physical, social and emotional changes taking place in each child. Our small school size, rigorous curriculum and strong moral guidance provide the individual attention your child needs to achieve personal success. At Thea Bowman Prep, you will find a caring community that celebrates the individuality of each child, helps them to discover who they are and inspires them to realize who they can be.
