Mission Perseverance Preparatory School prepares scholars in grades 5-8 through rigorous academics, targeted instruction, and service learning for a life of ethical leadership and scholarly success. Vision Perseverance Preparatory School (“Perseverance Prep”) will ensure that its graduates are equipped with 21st century skills and knowledge for a life of scholarly success and ethical leadership. Now more than ever, all students, including those residing within Silicon Valley, must compete in a global market for rapidly changing career fields and opportunities and must remain deeply invested in the life and success of the larger communities in which we all live and grow. Upon matriculation from Perseverance Prep at the end of 8th grade, our students will be able to collaborate and advocate for themselves both within a group as well as on behalf of a group. They will be able to convincingly convey their ideas or opinions in a logical and eloquent manner, as all of our students will have the unique opportunity to take Speech and Debate in all grades 5-8. Perseverance Prep has an unwavering belief that all students can and should excel academically, regardless of their race, socioeconomic status, citizenship status, home language, or zip code. Perseverance Prep has six core principles that drive toward our mission and allow us to ensure every student can succeed in a post-secondary school and go forth to become leaders with conviction.
