Dear Students and Families,
Welcome to Stratford Preparatory Milpitas! It is with great excitement and deep pride that I invite you to a school rooted in excellence, innovation, and community.
Stratford Prep Milpitas opened in August 2025 as Stratford’s second high school, built on over twenty-five years of experience and a clear vision for the future. Conveniently located in the heart of Milpitas, across from the Great Mall and the BART station, with easy access to I-680 and I-880, our campus is an inspired choice for families seeking academic excellence, personal growth, and community engagement.

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 faculty, counselors, and school leaders bring a wealth of knowledge, a deep love for teaching, and an unwavering commitment to student success. Together, we are building a school community that is safe, inclusive, and academically vibrant.
“It takes a village to raise a child.”
We recognize that the partnership between school and home is what helps our students truly thrive.
Our research-based curriculum blends the best of tradition with the demands of a rapidly changing world. We offer many roads to success — from honors and Advanced Placement to post-AP coursework — alongside a deeply individualized college counseling program designed to guide each student on their unique path to college and beyond.
Equally important is our commitment to 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 grow not only as scholars but as engaged citizens and thoughtful individuals.
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. Here at Stratford Preparatory, the sky is truly the limit!
Warmest regards,
Deepali Deshmukh
