Dear Parents,
Welcome to Case Preparatory Academy! We look forward to opening our doors for the 2020-21 school year to provide a safe, secure learning environment for K-8 students in Akron. We have big plans for STEM education and experiences for our students, and we are excited that you are joining us in founding this very special community school.
As principal, I believe that education is a journey, not a race. That childhood is a journey, not a race. And that my purpose is to make a difference in each child’s life.
Thank you for choosing Case Prep!
Sincerely,
Diane Johnson
Principal
