About Urban Prep

Urban Prep Academies is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates Urban Prep Charter Academy for Young Men—Englewood Campus. Urban Prep is Chicago's first and only Charter Public school for boys. Urban Prep’s mission is to provide a high-quality and comprehensive college-preparatory educational experience to young men resulting in graduates succeeding in college. The school is a direct response to the urgent need to reverse abysmal graduation and college completion rates among boys in urban centers. While most of Urban Prep students come to the school from economically disadvantaged households and reading 3 or more years below grade level, Urban Prep remains committed to preparing all of its students for college and life. Your support of Aces UP! will help Urban Prep continue this important work. More information about Urban Prep is available at www.urbanprep.org.
