Upper School

Global Mindset. Individualized Learning.

Springdale Prep fosters global-minded critical thinkers and life-long learners by providing a rigorous, encouraging environment where students take ownership of their education. To support this mission, we offer over 130 classes, ranging from AP and Honors courses to dual enrollment and independent study.

Beyond the classroom, we challenge our students to engage with the world around them. For instance, all upper school students must earn at least 75 hours of community service to graduate. Finally, as a culmination of their academic journey, every senior completes a comprehensive Senior Research Capstone, Seminar, and Practicum.
