The Waiting List
TPA draws from the waiting list throughout the year as openings become available.The waiting list rolls from year to year.
For example, an applicant placed on the waiting list for 7th grade would not need to go through the lottery process again for 8th grade. The applicant would maintain his or her position and new applicants would be placed behind him or her.
An application received after March 15th is placed at the bottom of the wait list in the order in which it is received.

Dear Prospective Families and Visitors,
We would like to welcome you to our wonderful school. Tempe Preparatory was among the first group of charter schools to open in Arizona, and now in its second decade of existence has repeatedly demonstrated its standard of academic excellence. We are routinely rated as one of the top schools in Arizona according to numerous websites and publications. Thank you for your interest in our school and we hope that you will consider us as you decide what learning environment is best suited for your child.
Tempe Preparatory Academies prides itself in offering an excellent liberal arts education to grades 6-12. Our students are enculturated with the integration of truth, beauty and goodness in all that we study as well as the expectation of which we hold for ourselves and community. Students participate actively through a Socratic style of instruction, and are challenged to read great works of literature that are often not part of the typical public school curriculum. The environment is one of enrichment, depth of inquiry and curiosity. You will find that students will not learn passively, rather take an active role in the learning process.
Parents are actively involved in many aspects of our organization and have been significant regarding the success of TPA. We hope that you are anxious to become a part of the impressive parent involvement that is vital to maintaining the effectiveness of our school. If you are looking for a school that offers a rigorous curriculum, small class sizes, teacher loads of no more than 88 students, safety, uniforms, athletics/activities, and most of all a setting whereby students are continuously engaging in the learning process, then you may have found your educational home at Tempe Preparatory Academies.Tempe Preparatory Academy is a U. S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon School. The No Child Left Behind-Blue Ribbon Schools Program honors public and private schools that are either academically superior in their state or that demonstrate dramatic gains in student achievement. Tempe Preparatory Academy received this prestigious award in October 2008.
Thank you for your interest in us,
Hugh Hallman
Headmaster
