History

Chandler Preparatory Academy is a small liberal arts charter school that was established in 2005 offering schooling for Grades 6-12.

The campus opened in conjunction with Archway Classical Academy, a similarly modeled school for K-5 students. In 2019, 10 seniors at Chandler Prep finished their High school career achieving perfect GPA scores.
