University Prep was established in 2008 by a partnership between the University of Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh Public Schools. It opened with 145 ninth grade students for the 2008-09 school year.[2] The school added a tenth grade class and middle school classes for the 2009-10 school year, added eleventh grade class in the 2010-2011 school year, and twelfth grade classes in successive years. Its first graduating class will be in 2012.
University Prep is housed in the former Margaret Milliones Middle School building. The University of Pittsburgh's Helen S. Faison Center for Urban Education is also located within the Milliones facility.
A small school environment provides support for students below, on, or above grade level, and a continuum of interconnected support systems has been designed to help every student at University Prep access advanced coursework and activities.
