I had back to school night at our new school. I was blown away at how advanced Royce’s work was compared to the other kids. He is top in the class in all areas. This is all largely due to his years at Folsom Prep. Thank you!

The best decision I have made for my child's education was switching her to Folsom Prep. My daughter went from not wanting to go to school, to now loves going, and is thriving! We are so thankful for the kind and amazing staff. I am so thankful we found this school.

I love teaching at Folsom Prep because of its supportive community, its inclusive environment, and the joy I get from seeing my students grow and succeed. Folsom Prep is truly my home away from home!

Boy Student

There's something so special about Folsom Prep. We briefly moved our oldest to public school and quickly came back to Folsom Prep, where his reading level increased, he was happier and more engaged academically, and he received much more individualized attention.

My time at this school, from kindergarten to fifth grade, has let me explore many opportunities and ultimately shaped my interest in the sciences. Hence, I am now a freshman at Johns Hopkins University majoring in neuroscience with a goal of becoming a doctor.
