Memphis Delta Preparatory Charter School is a tuition-free, K-5 public charter school, opening in Fall 2016.The mission of Memphis Delta Preparatory (MDP) Charter School is to support and grow productive and well-rounded citizens who will succeed in college and beyond. We are committed to making sure that every MDP student is prepared to reach, attend, and graduate from highly selective colleges and universities. We will do this by guaranteeing that every classroom has an excellent teacher who is constantly improving right along with their students. Memphis Delta Prep opened its doors in August of 2016 with 300 students in grades K-4 and now serves over 400 students in grade K-5. We will work tirelessly to ensure that all of our students are prepared to reach, attend, and graduate from highly selective colleges and universities. A completed course of study at a top-tier college will allow our students to build and support healthy and happy families, empower and improve their Memphis neighborhoods, and enjoy a rich intellectual life. MDP is committed to closing racial and economic achievement gaps in a meaningful way – not only as measured through elementary and secondary standardized test scores, but more importantly, through post-secondary degree attainment.
