The mission of Harding Charter Preparatory District is to prepare all graduates for success at any post-secondary educational institution by providing students with a rigorous, college-preparatory environment from their earliest days in school. We currently operate three public charter schools -- Harding Charter Preparatory High School, Harding Charter Preparatory Middle School at Independence and Harding Charter Preparatory Elementary School at Kelley -- which combined serve nearly 1,075 diverse students in grades PK - 12.  

As a public charter school, our schools are FREE to attend and OPEN to all!  


Everything we do - how we spend our money, programs we invest in, what we communicate with families about - is all meant to support student success in a rigorous academic environment. We advance our mission by committing to our district's Core Values. Read more about our five Core Values below.
