Invest in the Future

Help Springfield Prep students take their next big step — high school.

At Springfield Prep, every student’s journey continues well beyond our doors.

Through our High School Success Program, every 7th and 8th grader and their parent or caregiver receives one-on-one counseling, school visit opportunities, and support through complex application and interview processes — ensuring they attend high schools that will set them up for college and life success.

Nearly 70% of our graduates now enroll in top college-prep high schools — a direct result of this program. Your gift makes this possible.

  • Join us for a Lunchbox Tour: Take a walk down memory lane as we go “back to school” and introduce you to Springfield Prep! While here, you’ll meet with teachers and students, participate in authentic classroom experiences, and learn why students are thriving.

  • We'd love to introduce you to our scholars! Every Friday our school comes together for our Community Meeting. Friends (like you!) often come to talk about their career, what inspired and helped them along the way, and/or their alma mater (among other things!). These community connections make all the difference; when you show up to witness our scholars’ efforts, it strengthens their "scope of possibility" as they learn, dream, and look to the future. 

    • Join us on Fridays at Community Meeting (8am)
