TUITION AND AFFORDABILITY

Tuition

At Southern Prep, we proudly provide an exceptional education rooted in the principles of military structure and discipline. We understand that investing in your son’s education can initially seem overwhelming, but rest assured, the value he will gain at our Academy extends far beyond the classroom. We work daily to instill discipline, leadership, and a strong sense of character, preparing our students for success in both academic and personal endeavors.

While the cost of tuition may be significant, it is crucial to recognize that your investment extends to a holistic educational experience that nurtures not only intellectual growth but also character development and physical fitness. We are dedicated to supporting families through various tuition assistance resources to make Southern Prep accessible to all.
