MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES PREP · BOYS, GRADES 6–8
Your son
can Join the
Brotherhood
Welcome to a school that embraces who your son is while pushing him on his educational journey.
Two schools. One GP Family.
His potential is limitless.
Is he reaching
His potential?
Middle school is a crucial time for young men in Memphis. Too many boys become disconnected from school, lose confidence in their abilities, and begin to see education as something that happens to them rather than something that opens doors. By the time they reach high school, fewer than 16% are ready for college according to the ACT.
At Memphis Grizzlies Prep, we won’t let our boys be overlooked. The world is theirs.
Our Mission
Educating young men in grades 6–8, Grizzlies Prep prepares all students to excel academically and demonstrate integrity. Within a rigorous and joyful middle school, students become equipped for success in high school, college, and life.
Built for how boys learn.
WHY A SCHOOL BUILT FOR BOYS
Undivided
attention.
Unlimited
possibility.
We exist for families who want to raise confident young men. Since 2012, we’ve given our boys our undivided attention. The data is clear that they need it. We believe they deserve it.
We fully embrace each Brother’s unique gifts and identity, and we push every one of them to be the best he can be, academically and as a man of character. We partner with families who want the same.
A COMMUNITY THAT WILL
Set him apart.
Brotherhood
Our Brothers belong to a community that fully affirms who they are, because every one of them is worthy of time and attention and capable of great things.
With affirmation comes challenge. We are not here to stay where we are. We are here to become who we are meant to be. Brotherly affirmation and challenge are built into every school day.
Excellence
When better is possible, good is not enough.
Wherever your son is academically, and whatever his maturity, our staff will push him to grow. We celebrate excellence in academics and character, and we give our Brothers every chance to show off and shine.
Scholarship
Reading, writing, and a strong command of math are crucial to your son’s success.
We back up core classes with extra blocks of reading and math enrichment or intervention, so he gets targeted practice and encouragement every day. The results speak for themselves: 80th percentile or higher growth in 11 of 12 tested subjects.
