Families in South Akron have options when it comes to their children getting a publicly funded high-quality education. Main Preparatory Academy is one option that continues to make a difference in the lives of Akron youth. Main Preparatory Academy is located at 1035 Clay Street. This Akron community school serves Kindergarten through Fifth Grade students.

The location, situated in South Akron, services low income families by providing free lunch and breakfast as well as free before and after school care. Main Preparatory Academy maintains small class sizes and employs a full time social worker in order to provide all their children with individualized attention. All their teachers are highly qualified and dedicated to the diverse population that makes up the school. The classrooms are bright, inviting and student work is displayed throughout.

This year the school is starting a program named “The Leader in Me.” This program is designed to empower students to own their learning and see school as a place where they can be successful.
“We rarely send children home or suspend as a consequence for behavior. Instead, we teach our children to problem solve through difficult situations. Every moment is a teachable moment at Main Prep,” says Principal Rebecca Holthaus.

Main Preparatory Academy is a public charter school. Charter schools are available to all parents and provide school choice when considering their child’s education. Thousands of Ohio families choose charter schools when traditional schools are not meeting their expectations. Main Preparatory Academy offers their students both free lunch and free breakfast programs as well as free before and after school programming. Transportation is available for families two or more miles away from the school. Main Preparatory Academy is held to the same standards as traditional public schools. Students are required to take the Ohio State Tests and to achieve at the same level as other students in the public school system. With a staff of caring professionals, Main Preparatory Academy has seen much student success.
