We pride ourselves on our commitment to student success and flexible learning.

The design, development, and delivery of the Stride K12 mastery-based curriculum is grounded in our faith and principles that promote critical-thinking and problem-solving.

Students learn virtually from home, or wherever there’s an internet connection, along with their Learning Coach. No in-person instruction is provided as part of the Marian University Preparatory School virtual format.
Marian University Preparatory School Plus
Students follow a hybrid format and attend both virtual and in-person sessions. Students attend classes virtually on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. On Tuesday and Thursday, students wlearn in-person at one of Marian University Preparatory School’s community sites, as facilitated and supervised by Marian University Preparatory School’s adjunct faculty.
No matter the format, Marian University Preparatory School’s curriculum and community is aligned as one school. Students will need to select their option before the start of each school year. For a sample schedule, please contact the enrollment team.
