About the Learning Program

Impact Prep ensures equitable instruction for all learners, grounded in rigorous, standards-aligned curriculum; robust access to personalized intervention; and a one-of-a-kind restorative practices approach, which replaces the traditional punitive system with one focused on repairing any harm done to oneself and the community.

Its values of respect, empowerment, accountability, and interconnectedness make Impact a safe place for all community members to learn and grow.
