Our Wylie Prep Story:
In the summer of 2000, a group of families met together to discuss the need for a new alternative in education. At that time, several of the families agreed to work together to start a new school that would meet the educational needs in our community. They envisioned a school where students are taught and discipled in a caring Christian environment by a team of professional Christian educators and parents who value higher moral and academic standards. Through prayer and research, an educational model, called the University-Model® School (UMS), was found. There are currently over 80 University Model® Schools across the country and even a few international ones as well.
Wylie Preparatory Academy started in 2001 with grades 1 – 6, adding one level per year to establish a fully developed program of grades 1 – 12 in the fall of 2007. The addition of kindergarten in the fall of 2011 gave Wylie Preparatory Academy a full program serving grades K – 12 and Pre-K was officially added in the fall of 2017.
