Founded in 1916, Aiken Preparatory School is a dynamic, engaged community of learners serving students in 3K through 12th grade. We provide a globally competitive college preparatory education within a culture of personal responsibility, integrity and respect for others. Working in partnership with families, we challenge and support our students to discover their strengths and realize their fullest potential as humanitarians, scholars, athletes and artists. Through individual attention, innovative programs, interdisciplinary and authentic experiences that go beyond the classroom, we develop the whole child for a lifetime of learning, leadership, and service.

Historic, Independent, Compassionate, Diverse, Progressive. This is Aiken Prep.
