Dear Parents,

Welcome to Western Toledo Preparatory Academy—Home of the Huskies! We are a public charter school for competitive sports and academics located in the Holland-South Toledo area. Our campus is co-located with Our Lady of Lourdes Church.

Our mission is to promote the academic, emotional, and physical development of our students through the promotion of teamwork, sportsmanship and athletic competition.  By developing these skills, student-athletes will become confident and capable contributing members of our community.

We believe family, fitness, and academics create the best kind of childhood & healthiest foundation for a life well-lived. We teach core academic subjects in the mornings, reserving afternoons for fitness & for students to pursue special interests like competitive sports or art throughout our 18-acre campus.

• Academics – we teach an Ohio Standards-based curriculum and individualize instruction to each student by assessing students on a bi-weekly schedule to know if a student is working ahead, falling behind, or right on track. We teach our core subjects of English Language Arts, Math, Social Studies & Science every morning.

• Fitness & Extracurriculars – all students participate in our afternoon PE program which includes Health topics & Fitness activities. In addition to general PE, students can choose to play sports or participate in Art classes.

• Family – we value families, partnership & participation—within the school community & at home. All sports team practices and most games are scheduled during the school day to keep evenings free for family time.

Thank you for choosing Western Toledo Prep!
