The iUp Difference
A Virtual Environment Where Students Don’t Just Learn, They Belong
iUniversity Prep (iUP) has been redefining what virtual education can be since 2013. Students are encouraged to be their authentic selves while developing the skills they need to thrive in college, career and life.
Is iUP Right for Your Family?
iUP is designed for students who want more flexibility without sacrificing academic excellence or belonging. Our students:
Balance athletics, performing arts or other competitive pursuits
Travel frequently and need schedule adaptability
Thrive in a focused, but independent learning environment
Want a supportive, relationship-centered school community
Value being part of a positive, inclusive community
College Prep Education
Families choose iUP because learning flexibility should never mean lowering standards.
As a part of Grapevine-Colleyville ISD, our rigorous curriculum is aligned with Texas standards, and we are NCAA and TEA-accredited.
We’ve been leading virtual education since 2013, so we’ve figured out how best to show up for our students so they receive the best online education.
Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed by our Instructional Designers and teachers specifically for a virtual environment, ensuring students receive engaging, high-quality instruction tailored for their success.
The results speak for themselves.
Our students consistently outrank state averages in AP and SAT scores and are prepared to leave iUP and soar at four-year universities, colleges, and the military, pursuing their passions.
Connected On & Off Screen
Virtual doesn’t mean isolated.
We build intentional connections with each student. Your student’s homeroom teacher becomes their go-to advocate, helping them navigate online learning and determining a plan that works for them. Thanks to our flexible scheduling, teachers have more time built into their week to connect directly with each student and help them reach their personal best.
Here, students don’t hide behind a screen. They truly belong.
Once an Owl Always an Owl
We Believe
We believe in excellence every day.
At iUP, we intentionally create an environment where every student can be uniquely themselves and pursue their passions.
