The iPrep Way

Independence Preparatory Academy is the first approved college-preparatory, public K-8 charter school in Fairfield, AL serving students in Fairfield and surrounding areas.

Our Mission

 We are on a mission to equip all students with the academic tenacity and strength of character to choose their destiny and create a fulfilling life. 

Our Vision

All children deserve the highest-quality education that prepares them for college and the career of their dreams. Through freedom within limits, we commit to a world-class, scholar-driven environment that cultivates character and builds the community that makes dreams come true.

Learners Today, Leaders Tomorrow.

Our School Model

    We Believe

    iPrep prepares scholars to become proficient readers, writers, and thinkers to succeed in high school and beyond by ensuring that all our scholars can read on grade level by the end of third grade. We believe that a rigorous, high-quality college preparatory education is deserved by all scholars, regardless of socioeconomic status, household income, ethnicity, native language, household educational level, or race. Eight core beliefs guide all our work: 

    1. College Begins in Kindergarten
    2. Literacy is Everything
    3. Every Minute Matters
    4. A Joyful, Structured Culture Supports Learning
    5. Community Builds Character
    6. Data Drives Decisions
    7. Exemplary Teachers Get Exemplary Results
    8. It Takes a Village

    Every Student Matters, Every Moment Counts.

    Our Culture

    SERVICE

    It is through healthy relationships that we positively contribute to the welfare of others through helpful acts of kindness. We are always aware, observant, and responsive to the well-being and perspectives of others, knowing that our sacrifice leaves a place better than how we found it. We are selfless and see beyond our own needs.

    OPTIMISM

    We set positive expectations for others and ourselves. We plan for success and approach challenges enthusiastically because we know we do our best work when things are hard. In the most challenging times, we are open-minded because above every cloud is a blue sky. Because we give our best in all things, we expect the best in all things. 

    AGENCY

    We find value in our thoughts and believe in our ability to be successful. Personal values drive us to pursue our dreams actively. We intentionally reflect on what matters the most to make changes when our course misaligns with our goals. We produce meaningful work because we recognize our power in controlling our lives and futures. 

    RESILIENCE

    We don't shy away from challenges but work hard to overcome them. We are emotionally strong and persevere when faced with hard things. We give everything we have, utilize every available tool and resource, and ask others for support to learn from setbacks and overcome struggles. We are courageous in pursuing challenges and patient in pursuit of our goals. 

    PRIDE

    We recognize that our work and actions reflect who we are and where we come from. We reject mediocrity and, grounded in and by our community, and we improve our output through collaborative efforts. Pride is a matter of self-respect, respect for our intellect, respect for the communities in which we grow and thrive, and respect for the communities in which we seek to make change.
