Urban Prep Academies operates a network of all-boys public schools in Chicago, including the country\'s first charter high school for boys. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, it provides a rigorous, college-preparatory education designed to prepare its students for higher education. The schools address the urgent gap in graduation and college completion rates for boys in urban centers, serving students who typically come from economically disadvantaged households and often enter classrooms with reading levels below grade. The overarching aim is to equip students with the skills and preparation needed for college and life.

Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, the organization sits within the education administration sector and operates as a mid-sized nonprofit with a regional focus. In 2023, Urban Prep Academies filed suit against Chicago Public Schools regarding campus closures, and a court order temporarily prevented CPS from closing the Urban Prep-Bronzeville and Urban Prep-Englewood campuses during the litigation.
