Hive Prep started out as a Charter school offering education for children from Pre-K to 5th grade.  Charter schools have gradually become popular since the system was introduced in 1996. The United States Department of Education defined these institutions as “public schools that do not charge tuition fees established through a charter or agreement between the school and local district school board.” As of December  2011 approximately 5,600 charter schools enrolled an estimated total of more than 2 million students nationwide.  HIVE provides a safe, nurturing academic environment where all students will achieve high academic standards. Students are exposed to a broad swath of cultural and academic experiences as preparation for success in a global economy.   Hive has seen tremendous growth since it was established allowing the school to offer Middle and High School grade levels in order to maintain the needs of the community.  The new facility built within the existing campus is 40k sf on 2 stories and houses, new classrooms, cafetorium and labs.
