New student enrollment
Registration is open now!
Welcome!
Prichard Prep Is Ready for You
Thank you for your interest in Prichard Prep for your child’s education!
The first step in the enrollment process is scheduling your child’s entrance exam! We are currently testing students for the 2023 - 2024 school year. Schedule an exam by calling our office at (251) 380-7220. Registration is now open to the public.
Upon acceptance to Prichard Prep, parents must pay the $200 registration fee to hold their place, and complete the registration packet.
Prichard Prep accepts students in grades Pre-K4 through 5th Grade. To be considered for Pre-K4, your child must turn 4-years-old on or before October 1st of the upcoming school year. All rising Kindergarteners must turn 5-years-old on before October 1st, and all 1st graders must be 6-years-old on or before October 1st.
What does Prichard Prep Have to Offer?
Prichard Prep offers challenging, advanced curriculum for all grades. With small class sizes, every child gets the attention they need to succeed in class. As a result, our graduates enter middle school reading well above their grade level, and our students end the school year performing above the national average on standardized tests.
Prichard Prep believes that the best education is a well rounded education! In order to provide the best education possible for our students, we offer a number of special classes, clubs, and student organizations. We encourage students to be themselves and blossom in their interests. Students are free to attend the club of their choosing every Friday afternoon.
Along with clubs, Prichard Prep hosts several events and activities for students and families every year including plays, Fall Festival, Christmas Extravaganza, Spring Show, Easter programs, field days, etc.

Must have a level of emotional stability that enables the student to learn and does not distract others from learning. Must demonstrate the academic ability and willingness to work at the grade level to which he/she is assigned
Accommodations needed for individual students must not be such that they limit other students from receiving adequate time and attention
Must meet the minimum age requirement as established by the Alabama Independent School Association. Children entering Pre-K4, Kindergarten, or 1st grade must reach age 4, 5, or 6 respectively, before October 1
Entry into the next grade level at PPS is contingent upon: recommendation from the administration, meeting the academic criteria for that grade level, and compliance with attendance policies including absences, tardies and early dismissals as outlined in the handbook

Enrollment for new students is HAPPENING NOW! Spaces for the 23-24 school year are limited, so don’t wait to schedule an exam! If you have any questions regarding enrollment, or would like to receive additional information, call (251) 380-7220.
If classes are at the maximum capacity, applicants will be placed on a waiting list. Prichard Preparatory School does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, or gender.
Parents or guardians are solely responsible for paying tuition on the timetable set by PPS. Education at PPS is an investment, and while the PPS curriculum is college preparatory in nature, there is no guarantee that a student leaving PPS will be accepted to a college preparatory middle school. Further, Prichard Prep does not assume any responsibility for paying or securing financial aid for its students, while here or when attending another school.
