The mission of the Richard Allen Preparatory Charter School, is to create a safe and healthy learning environment that will nurture, motivate and enable our middle school youth to develop into mindful, responsible, contributing participants in their education, their community, and the diverse society in which we live. Our program is characterized by the cooperative presence and unified support of caring families, business, educational and civic groups, with whom our students will interact. Our program of performance-based instruction will guide students through the development of creative and critical thinking and learning skills, which they will learn to apply to daily living though cooperative, interactive and reality based instruction in the core curricular areas.
