The American Prep story began in 2002 with a small group of dedicated parents who wanted better opportunities for their children. 20 years later, American Preparatory Academy has become an award-winning public charter school, now serving over 5,000 students at six campuses in Utah.
2023 marks our 20th year as a tuition-free public charter school with Draper, Salem, and two Title 1 campuses in West Valley City. Click here to see the timeline of our school expansion.
Thanks to Carolyn’s tireless efforts, the American Preparatory Academies have successfully prepared students for whatever may meet them in the future. She organized the original board of parents in 2002, and it was her vision that led the schools to West Valley, Las Vegas, and even Zambia, Africa. She has continued to give her time, her expertise, and her heart to the APA schools.
