About Abba Preparatory
A private Christian preparatory school built on the conviction that faith, purpose, and character are the foundation of a meaningful education.
Our Mission
Abba Preparatory exists to provide faith-driven academic preparation that develops the whole student — mind, body, and spirit — equipping young people with the knowledge, character, and conviction to lead purposeful lives of wisdom, leadership, and service.
Our Vision
We envision a school community where students are known, challenged, and loved — where faith shapes purpose, academics build confidence, and character becomes the measure of success. Abba Preparatory will be recognized as a model for what Christian education can look like when it is done with excellence and intention.
Our Core Values
Faith
A biblical worldview anchors every subject, every conversation, and every relationship within our school community.
Purpose
We help students discover meaning, direction, and the confidence to pursue the calling God has placed on their lives.
Character
Integrity, responsibility, and respect are taught, modeled, and expected — not as rules, but as a way of life.
Academic Rigor
We hold students to high academic standards because preparation for college and life demands nothing less.
Family Partnership
Parents are partners, not spectators. School and home work together to support every child's development.
Servant Leadership
Students learn to lead by serving — their peers, their community, and the world God calls them to impact.
What "Preparatory" Means to Us
The word "preparatory" is intentional. It signals that everything at AbbaPrep is designed with the future in mind. We are not simply keeping students busy — we are preparing them for college, for careers, for families, and for lives of purpose.
Our name draws from "Abba" — the intimate, loving name for Father used by Jesus — because we believe education flourishes when students feel known and loved. Preparation rooted in that kind of relationship produces students who are confident, capable, and ready for what comes next.
"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." — Proverbs 22:6
