Why Mason Prep?

Our students drive all that we do.

Because we truly know each child: their strengths, interests, and challenges, we are able to guide and support them in ways that are meaningful and personal. This deep understanding allows us to nurture confident, capable students who are ready to become the best version of themselves.

Small School. Lifelong Impact.

We Believe…choosing a school is about finding the right fit for your child and family.
You’ll See It In…small classes, strong parent partnerships, and a community that knows every student.

What Sets Us Apart

Nurturing Community

Students at Mason Prep are known and supported as individuals. At any given moment, members of our faculty and staff know that Michael needs help with fractions, Ella is ready for more challenging material in reading, and Jack’s hamster passed away (so he might need an extra hug). Student support is paramount at MPS.

Character Education

Kindness, respect, and personal responsibility are integral to a Mason Prep education. Students learn to be contributing members of our school community and take these lessons out into our broader world through community service projects. For example, our students don’t simply bring a can of food to donate – they also learn why members of our community may be food insecure and how local nonprofits provide help.

Strong Foundation

Students are given an extremely strong academic foundation which leads to success in high school and beyond. Alumni continuously tell us that knowledge they use in high school – and in college – came from their years at Mason Prep.

Dedicated Faculty

Our exceptional faculty is made up of talented and committed educators who work with parents as a team for the success of each child. These amazing people not only teach our students, but also listen to them, support them, and inspire them.

Pre-K-8 School

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. Without the shadow of a high school, childhood lasts a little longer and middle schoolers are provided with more leadership opportunities.

High School Preparation

“What happens after MPS?” is a question we get a lot. The answer? “Anything and everything.”

"The Feeling"

So many of our families say they “just knew” Mason Prep was the school for them, or “could just feel it” when they came to visit. We don’t know how to describe it, but there’s something special in the air at Mason Prep. We hope you will come and see (or feel) for yourself!

We were searching for a smaller school environment that prioritized kindness and character alongside academics. We found exactly what we were looking for at Mason Prep.

As parents, we [...feel] comfortable walking into the school at any time. We feel invited and welcome and are therefore more involved. Mason Prep is truly our family.

Love this school. My daughter's teachers consistently challenged and encouraged her. She learned not only how to be a good student, but also a kind, compassionate, and engaged citizen. I always felt welcome, and the teachers and staff treated us like family.
