Some words about The Masters Preparatory Academy...

STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY

The Masters Preparatory Academy is a vision God gave to Dr. Robert Murphy.  While the school is not yet a reality, Dr. Murphy envisions it to be an all male grade 7-12, boarding school designed to serve African American boys from across the state of Ohio and surrounding states. The scholars will embark upon a social, emotional, and academic transformation through the core values of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, Resiliency, Integrity, Selflessness, Uniqueness, Solidarity, Faith, Responsibility, and Relentlessness. Students will learn the methods and skills of high academic excellence through a structured, individualized, rigorous curriculum. Students will acquire and apply leadership skills such as, goal-setting, character development, problem-solving, critical thinking, integrity, self-reliance, resiliency, and commitment to helping others. All of the young men will be required to serve their school, community, region, and nation. Extracurricular activities and opportunities for mentoring and internships will be available for all students.

OUR DESCRIPTION
