VisitDear Students and Families,
Welcome to Stratford Preparatory Milpitas! It is with great excitement and deep pride that I welcome you to Stratford Preparatory Milpitas. We are honored to invite you to a school rooted in excellence, innovation, and community.
Stratford Prep Milpitas opened in August 2025 as Stratford’s second high school, with the strength of over twenty-five years of experience and with a clear vision for the future. With two art studios, two innovation labs, four biochem labs, two physics labs, a library/learning commons, an orchestra/music room, and a wonderful new gym, Stratford Prep Milpitas is thoughtfully designed to stimulate intellectual curiosity and nurture learning. Conveniently located in the heart of Milpitas, across the Great Mall and the BART station, with easy access to the 680 and 880 freeways, Stratford Prep Milpitas is a great choice for families looking for academic excellence, personal growth, and community engagement.
At Stratford Preparatory Milpitas, our mission is to connect students to their unique futures and ignite a passion for learning that extends beyond the classroom. We are committed to providing an educational experience that challenges the mind, nurtures the spirit, and builds the confidence and character needed to lead with purpose. Our outstanding middle and high school faculty, school leaders, counselors, and administrators bring a wealth of knowledge, a deep love for teaching, and a strong commitment to student success. We are laser-focused on creating the learning environment and community that you have come to associate with Stratford School, one that is innovative, inclusive, and empowering. Together, we are building a school community that is safe, inclusive, and academically vibrant.
Our research-based curriculum blends the best of tradition with the demands of a rapidly changing world. We offer many roads to success, including honors, Advanced Placement, and post-AP offerings, to a deeply personalized college counseling program. Every element of our academic program is designed to help students realize their highest potential. Our individualized college counseling program is designed to guide each student on their unique path to college and beyond, ensuring that they are equipped to reach their highest potential.
Equally important is our commitment to the development of the whole child. We believe in developing caring, collaborative, confident, and capable critical thinkers who are ready to make a difference in their communities and beyond. Through leadership opportunities, service learning, and passion-driven projects, students will grow not only as scholars but also as engaged citizens and thoughtful individuals. Our goal is to empower each student to step into the world knowing they can achieve anything they set their minds to. Here at Stratford Preparatory, the sky is truly the limit!
“It takes a village to raise a child.” We recognize that the partnership between school and home helps our students thrive. I invite you to join us on this exciting adventure and become one of our founding families. Together, we will build a school where every student is prepared for success, not just in the classroom but in life.
