This is the biggest year of growth in ASU Prep's history. A new campus opened in downtown Phoenix. A new elementary school launched in the West Valley. And two new partner schools, one in Massachusetts and one in California, are bringing the ASU Prep model to students who never had access before. Over the past several years, Amy McGrath, Managing Director of ASU Prep & ASU Vice President of Educational Outreach, has collaborated with educators and innovators on a shared vision for K–12 education reinvention. From a best-selling economist to the founder of Khan Academy, these leaders are determined to build new schools and new ways for students to learn.

What happens when high school students get to learn engineering directly from Arizona State University professors? They build. They experiment. They solve problems. And they get a glimpse of where their curiosity could take them. That was the experience for approximately 90 students at Taipei Wego Private Senior High School this summer as they took part in the inaugural Summer 2026 Global Engineering Academy, a new partnership between ASU Prep Global and ASU’s Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. Held July 20–24 in Taipei, the five-day academy gave students the chance to dive into advanced engineering topics through hands-on projects, experiments and direct mentorship from ASU faculty. And the topics were anything but ordinary. Students explored everything from robotic arms and artificial intelligence to bioelectronics, semiconductors, energy systems and 3D bioprinting.

What happens when a high school is designed around the way students learn best? Recently featured by the Needham Observer, Felix Commonwealth Virtual School is bringing a new approach to public education in Massachusetts, giving students more flexibility, personalized support and ownership over their learning. The model was created by a unique partnership between Felix, Lasell University and ASU Prep. Amy McGrath, ASU Vice President of Educational Outreach and Managing Director of ASU Prep, believes, "This type of innovative school model is what families across the country are asking for."
