About AC Prep Upper Campus

African-Centered College Preparatory Academy is located in the Southeast HS building. AC Prep provides a unique college preparatory curriculum that is consistent with KCPS, which supports students of African descent in expanding their knowledge of the culture, history of people of African descent, and increasing their general awareness and knowledge of their own unique history and culture. Our curriculum is grounded in Ma’at principles of virtue and Nguzo Saba community values. We strive to have our students to exceed mandates and reach a higher level of expectation and challenge.

Along with a rigorous college prep academic curriculum, AC Prep teaches principals of Ma’at and the Nguzo Saba focusing on self-esteem, empowerment and responsible citizenship, along with the classical views of traditional African society. We also have a high expectation of academic achievement and social conduct for all AC Prep students.

High School (9-12) Admission Requirements: Students must have a GPA of 2.50 or better, a 85% or better attendance record, and no chronic discipline or behavior issues.
