About the Academy
Welcome to Scottsdale Prep
Scottsdale Preparatory Academy is the network's most decorated upper school: multiple National Merit Finalists each year, roughly ten million dollars in scholarship offers per graduating class, and AIA state titles to match. Sixth-graders begin Euclid; twelfth-graders defend a senior thesis before the faculty.
The campus on 92nd Street has the feel of a small college — the courtyards, the colonnade, the Spartan helmet over the gymnasium door. The heart of the program is virtue education woven quietly into everything: the patience required to master a Euclidean proof, the courage to deliver an unflinching speech, the temperance that comes from balanced study and leisure.
