KNOXVILLE PREPARATORY SCHOOL
Knoxville Preparatory School will be an all-boys public charter school located in Knoxville, Tennessee. We will open the school in the fall of 2024 with an inaugural sixth-grade class and will add an additional class each academic year until we reach 12th grade for a total enrollment of 500 students. We will offer a quality STEM-centered curriculum in addition to leadership development to ensure our students' future success in a fast-paced world. For additional details regarding the school, please take a look at the charter application here.
