Our mission is to provide students with a rigorous and relevant education, based on the ethical principles of A Disciplined Life®. Perspectives students are prepared for life in a changing world with the tools to succeed. This holistic model fosters ethical leadership and cultivates agency.
For over twenty years, our network has served public school students in grades 6 -12 on our city’s Southside.

Our college prep curriculum leverages instruction and personalized learning. Students can take advantage of certification programs, career development, and early college credit.
