What is it like working at AndyPrep?
“The academic curriculum offered by AndyPrep is exceptional but what is even better is the student-oriented online platform, in which I took a huge part in building. During my time teaching here, the relationship between faculty and student was very cordial, which provided the environment to excel in my area of teaching the students.

“Students at AndyPrep have been nothing short of a promising, engaging and driven group of individuals with like-minded ambition for the future and passion for higher education. As a student here myself years ago, I have seen how AndyPrep serves as not only an important stepping stone to each student's future but also an institution that continues to grow with its students. It was extremely rewarding to teach students here as their academic excellence and humility shape them to become future leaders of our society.”

“The experience and history of AndyPrep is reflected in its comprehensive and systematic approach to preparing students for college. Additionally, it works to not only meet students needs but also those of teachers as well to make sure that they are empowered to succeed in their instructional roles. A substantial amount of class material is provided to support their faculty for both in-person and online classes. The latter is of great merit because even when I taught remotely from the comfort of my home, I felt that I was given the proper tools and resources I needed to teach my students.”
