OUR VISION

Our vision for Desert Trails Preparatory Academy is to equip all scholars, regardless of race, ethnicity, or economic status, with the tools they need to be successful students throughout their lives.

  • We envision a school where scholars can be Optimistic about their futures.
  • We envision a school where scholars learn to use Wisdom and make wise choices.
  • We envision a school that develops a drive for Life-long learning in our scholars.  
  • We envision a school where the measure of Success is a person’s ability to respect differences in others,
    strive for excellence in everything they do, believe in themselves and what they can achieve,
    and come to the realization that their capacity for learning is never completely realized.
