Phenom Prep.

We're looking for driven kids and committed families who believe in the 3×3 model. Here's everything you need to know to apply.

Who We Serve

Phenom Prep is not for every student — and that's intentional. We're built for a specific kind of kid and a specific kind of family. Here's how to know if we're the right fit.

Phenom Prep is a great fit if…

Students in grades K–8 who are ready for a structured, high-expectation environment
Kids who have a passion — athletics, STEM, or arts — and want to develop it seriously
Families who are committed to both academic excellence and domain development
Students who thrive with purpose-driven learning, not just seat time
Kids who want to be part of a tight-knit, identity-driven school community
Families willing to commit to the full 3×3 model — mornings and afternoons
Family meeting with Phenom Prep staff

We may not be the right fit if…

Families looking for a traditional, elective-based school experience
Families who prefer a school where students stay in one domain with no flexibility to explore
Families who cannot commit to the full school day schedule

Five steps from inquiry to enrollment. Straightforward, intentional, and built around fit.

01

Submit an Inquiry

Fill out the inquiry form below with your child's grade, pathway interest, and basic contact info. We'll follow up within 2 business days.

03

Complete the Application

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Phenom Prep a charter school?

Phenom Prep operates as a private school. We are not a charter school and are not subject to lottery-based enrollment. We select students based on fit with the 3×3 model.

Can my child switch pathways after enrolling?

Yes — domain immersion in the afternoon can be switched year to year, and students are encouraged to explore different domains over time. We want every student to find the pathway that truly fits them.

What if my child is behind academically?

We assess each student individually. If a student needs additional academic support, we discuss that during the family interview and determine whether our model is the right fit at this time.

Do you offer before or after care?

The school day runs 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM. Extended care options are discussed during enrollment. Contact us for current availability.

Is transportation provided?

Transportation is the responsibility of families. We can connect you with carpool networks and provide information about public transit options near the school.

What grades are currently open for enrollment?

We accept applications for all grades K–8. Availability varies by grade level. Submit an inquiry and we'll let you know current openings.
