Prep Academy

P.R.E.P. (Positive Refocus Education Program) is an alternative education initiative within the Denver Public Schools system designed to support students who are facing significant behavioral or academic challenges in traditional school settings. Located on Columbine Street, the program prioritizes a "positive refocus" approach, aiming to help students transition back to a successful academic path by providing a more personalized and structured learning environment. The program focuses on credit recovery, social-emotional development, and restorative practices to ensure that students remain engaged in their education.

By utilizing smaller class sizes and specialized instruction, P.R.E.P. works to address the root causes of student struggles while maintaining a commitment to academic rigor. The school serves as a bridge for students who need a fresh start, offering a supportive community that emphasizes accountability, resilience, and personal growth. Ultimately, the goal of the P.R.E.P. Academy is to equip its students with the necessary tools, habits, and self-confidence to graduate and successfully navigate their future educational or professional goals.
