Tempe Preparatory Junior Academy

After 1.5 years in this school, my son continues to thrive in the educational environment. While Arizona public schools seem to be losing the battle for mind share and tax dollars to Charter schools, Tempe (Jr) Prep seems to continue to impress as one of the Valley's true elite schools, largely to my mind, because of the teacher quality and commitment. The school's hardware is still horrible--tiny, unimpressive campus, limited athletic and other facilities--but its software is formidable. I am VERY picky about the very best educational excellence, and the time, commitment and excellence bred through the school, families and teachers is outstanding. No wonder Tempe Prep--even with other Great Hearts Academies arising--maintains its pre-eminence as the valley's finest middle and high school. For TPA, Keep up the quality, don't let it slip, give more homework, and more challenge of excellence and achievement. It's tough being the best, and there are many contenders who want the same kind of brand as Tempe Prep. I laud the school's leadership which keeps TPA adapting to change and maintaining its mission so wonderfully--I see the results in my son.

TPJA is the best! This past year was my first of many years at TPJA. The teachers are amazing and I have learned so many new things such as, memorizing Jabberwockey By: Lewis Carrol, learning about earthquakes through multiple tests with sugur cubes, and learning the parts to good writing. I think it is amazing and should totaly send your kid there!
