How are students supported emotionally and academically?

We don’t just ask “How’s your homework?”—we also ask “How are you?” At Palo Alto Prep, support is woven into every part of the day. Each student has an advisor who checks in regularly, helps with organization, and serves as a go-to adult. Teachers are approachable, lessons are personalized, and students know they can speak up if they’re struggling. Emotional wellness is a top priority, with mindfulness groups, peer support opportunities, and a school culture that genuinely values kindness. Whether it’s working through a tough assignment or a rough morning, students don’t have to face challenges alone. Support here isn’t a side service—it’s the backbone of everything we do.
