The Advantages of a Pre-K-8 School

Mason Prep focuses on these formative years

Why doesn’t Mason Prep have a high school? We hear that question frequently, and the answer is that just as we are a small school by design, we are also a Pre-K-8 school by design. These years are a critical time in a child’s intellectual, social, and emotional development.
We believe that the Pre-K-8 educational model is the best for our students, helping them to be confident life-long learners who are ready for the challenges of high school and beyond.

  • Meghan James, 7th and 8th grade math teacher

    What I like best about our Pre-K-8 model is the positive interactions between the big kids and the little kids. Relationships are developed through formal programs like math buddies and informal homework help and play at extended day. They are one another's biggest fans, and it is so heartwarming to see teenagers being so sweet and caring with the little ones.

  • Hal Huser, 5th & 6th grade history teacher

    I like that we only go up through middle school. I am a big kid at heart, and we are able to do some fun and creative activities that middle schoolers aren’t 'too cool' to enjoy. They can enjoy the season of life they are in without any pressure from high school peers.

    By the time students leave Mason Prep, they have a better idea of what kind of environment they want in high school. Some are ready to spread their wings because they have had time to develop their leadership skills and self-advocacy here at Mason Prep. Others recognize that they like the advantages of a smaller setting like ours and can find the right match in a high school. Students develop their individual identities here, and then they are excited to move to the next level.
