Chattanooga Preparatory School is a public charter institution for boys in Chattanooga, Tennessee, offering primary and secondary education with a focus on leadership development. It seeks to counter barriers tied to poverty and related social determinants that affect academic achievement and long‑term outcomes by delivering single‑gender, leadership‑focused instruction. The school traces its origins to a 2016 planning effort led by Ted and Kelly Alling, inspired by the success of the Chattanooga Girls Leadership Academy, and opened its doors in August 2018. This context frames its mission to support young men facing multiple challenges to school success. Within the primary and secondary education landscape, the school functions as a small, community‑focused institution serving students in Chattanooga. In 2019 the school named Elizabeth Williams as director of development. In 2022 it was recognized as a Tennessee Value‑Added Assessment System Level 5 composite school for academic growth.
