WE ARE WHAT'S NEXT

Vision

The Grand Prairie Collegiate Institute (GPCI) develops 21st-century, scholarly leaders, by providing a rigorous STEM and college readiness environment that promotes lifelong learning and success. We are what's next!

Mission

Our goal is to give scholars in grades 6-12 access to courses in advanced academics, dual credit, CTE (Career and Technical Education), and Advanced Placement with the intent that scholars will complete high school with significant college credits. The college credits earned are through an accredited college partner: two-year community college and/or four-year university.

About Our School

The Grand Prairie Collegiate Institute (GPCI) is a district charter school that provides only advanced, rigorous courses that prepare our scholars for the exciting and demanding fields within Engineering and Medical Science pathways. The scholars who are accepted to GPCI have the advantage of small class sizes, school-issued personal technology devices, and a contemporary learning environment. GPCI blends virtual learning with traditional classroom leadership while being exposed to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) courses and earning significant college credits. GPCI takes a personal approach in creating tailor-made college/career plans utilizing strong partnerships between scholars, parents, colleges and industry leaders.

The GP Collegiate Institute opened Fall 2013 with scholars in grades 6-8. We are an open-enrollment charter school allowing scholars from within and outside the GPISD attendance boundary. The school will enroll up to 50 scholars per grade level and plan to add one high school grade level each year through 12th grade. Full high school enrollment was completed in 2017, with the first class graduating in May 2018.
