Our Mission:
We prepare our scholars to use their voices, succeed academically, and lead impactful, meaningful lives.
Our Story
Kansas City Girls Preparatory Academy opened its
doors in 2019, and today is the only single-
gender public charter school in Missouri. Our
founding was inspired by the Young Women’s
Leadership School (TWLS) of East Harlem,
founded by Ann Rubenstein Tisch - a former
Kansas Citian - in 1996. The TWLS school’s
remarkable success led to the creation of sister
schools in each borough of New York and
eventually, a national network of more than two-
dozen schools committed to providing equitable
access to high-quality, single-gender education.
Today, we are proud to be part of this movement
to empower students through a model that
emphasizes academic excellence, leadership,
sisterhood, and individualized support to nurture
the success of the whole girl.
