Uncommon Schools Troy Prep High School is a free, public high school located in Troy, NY near the Burden Iron Works Museum. We prepare each student to enter, succeed in, and graduate from college by developing within them extraordinary academic skills, a life-long passion for learning, and the values that define strong character.
From a rigorous college preparatory curriculum to enrichment and athletics, Troy Prep provides students with opportunities to build skills and interests outside the classroom.
We believe that every moment we have with our students is critical, and recognize that our ultimate mission is to prepare our students to enter, succeed in, and graduate from college. TPHS teachers provide guided support to each student balanced with the autonomy they need to be fully prepared for college and beyond.
Our college success team works with our students to ensure our high school students are prepared for college and beyond.
The high school’s College Access and Success team is active in organizing school visits by college recruiters as well as student trips to college campuses. The team further supports college preparation by coordinating student participation in summer and year-long enrichment programs to strengthen preparation for college. Our college team spends much of its time providing support to alumni as they navigate college life.
Our students receive support with SAT and ACT tests, collecting high school transcripts, editing personal essays, filing FAFSA, and submitting college applications.
