Why iPrep? iPrep Academy is a Nationally Certified Magnet School. Ten years ago, MDCPS Superintendent and iPrep’s Principal, Alberto M. Carvalho challenged educators to create a learning environment that closes the cultural and digital divide. Today, iPrep stands as a symbol for education innovation; fostering an environment of collaboration across disciplines, cultures and economic standing, and where every child has access to technology.  This brightly colored school without doors or bells is purposely designed to promote respect and responsibility among the students & staff. Our Educators have met the challenge to break from traditional teaching styles and embrace innovative “out of the box” teaching without sacrificing the highest standards or rigor. In a short time, iPrep has emerged as a leader in education innovation.
