Tampa Preparatory School
Tampa, Florida
Tampa Preparatory School is a place to… 1) Think: where a rigorous grounding in skills and knowledge is just the beginning - where teachers and student share inquiry, reflection and analysis on the path to personal understanding. 2) Create: where people celebrate the imagination in geometric proofs and formal essays, on canvas, computer and stage, in poetry readings and morning assemblies. 3) Be Yourself: where people respect differences and can find their place in a diverse community. 4) Aspire to Excellence: where students develop winning attitudes in academics, athletics and arts. 5) Go Beyond: where Florida Keys, North Carolina Mountains, museums, concert halls and community service become classrooms that foster deeper understandings of one’s self, others and the world.
School Motto
More than just a College Preparatory School…A Preparation for Life with a Higher Purpose than Self
