If you’re considering Southern Prep, chances are you’re seeking something different for your son. Perhaps local public or private schools don’t align with your expectations, and you’re concerned about your child falling through the cracks. Like many families we’ve spoken with, you might be seeking more structure, opportunity, leadership development, diversity, or academic support.
Our singular focus is to equip our cadets for life’s challenges. Every young man who enters our doors emerges with a deeper sense of self-respect and a heightened appreciation for others. Here, he’ll stand taller and walk with pride, ready to embrace his future with confidence and purpose.
“Before he came back to school in the fall, he actually thanked us for sending him to Southern Prep, and that was a huge, huge, thing for my husband and I to realize that we did do the right thing. It was a hard decision to send him here, but we’re really glad that we did!”
