Welcome from the Head of School

Welcome to Eastside Prep! Our hope with this website is that you will be inspired to explore our school community, and to learn something about who we are. Eastside Prep students are independent thinkers, and socially conscious citizens. They are artists and mathematicians, scientists, musicians, and writers. They are historians, athletes and philosophers. In fact – a class at Eastside Prep is a symposium of active minds engaging in real dialogue.

At Eastside Prep we focus on critical thinking, responsible action, compassionate  leadership and wise innovation. The impact of that approach is powerful, because it reminds every student – every day – that anything is possible, and learning is the way to achievement.

We are looking for students who have great ideas, who want to know other people like them, and who are not intimidated by real exploration. This is a place for motivated, interested people who want to try new things, want to learn in new ways, and who want a high energy education.

This is an authentic learning community. We use tools of all kinds to extend our reach into the world. We also rely on one another to sustain our culture of respect for learning, for self, and for others.

Enjoy your tour of Eastside Prep online, and if you find yourself wanting to know more about us – come and visit. We’re eager to welcome into the community students and families who think, as we do, that education is all about the people; it’s the relationships that matter most.
