Our Mission:
We prepare our scholars to use their voices, succeed academically, and lead impactful, meaningful lives.
How We Started
Kansas City Girls Preparatory Academy opened its doors in 2019, becoming the first and only single-gender public charter school in Missouri. Its founding was inspired by the Young Women’s Leadership School (TWLS) of East Harlem - a charter school founded by Ann Rubenstein Tisch - a former Kansas Citian - in 1996. The TWLS school eventually turned into a national network of over two-dozen, all-girls schools committed to providing equitable access to high-quality, single-gender education. Today, we are proud to work hand in hand with our sister schools across the country to empower students through a model that emphasizes academic excellence, sisterhood, and individualized support to nurture the success of the whole girl.
