Matlock Prep (MP) is a Private Preparatory High School for gifted and creative students located in West Palm Beach, Florida. MP believes in the advantages of challenging and nurturing students, which we feel prepares the foundation for lifelong learning. Fundamental in our teaching is the development of independent thought. Encouraging thinking, imagination and creativity optimizes talent. Bright students need to have enrichment in every part of their high school We achieve this through Advanced Placement, Honors, and challenging course work.

Our Private High School has an enriched college prep curriculum that is infused with classical and contemporary works that emphasizes the importance of the English language. The mastery and beauty of the language is transmitted through reading, speaking, listening and writing. We strongly believe it is important to teach and transmit mathematics, with it's many uses, so that students may be confident in employing it and moving forward with the assurance that this knowledge is at their fingertips.

Our High School environment relies on a respect for the student's and staff's abilities. It is easier for students to find their voices when they are readily accepted into their peer group. The identity of the student is strengthened through this process. Families are the primary source of love, ethical standards, manners, study, self-discipline, and honesty. It is the school's responsibility to work with our families to bring out these qualities in our students.

A substantial intelligence is as valuable as a good heart. We seek to develop both. True self-confidence reflects both; because a student that feels good about themselves and their intellectual development, will posses a confidence about their future.
