Prepa Tec

Prepa Tec (sometimes stylized as "PrepaTEC" or "Prepa Tec") refers to the high school programs offered by the Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM) university system in Mexico. "Prepa" is a common abbreviation for "preparatoria," which is the Spanish term for high school or preparatory school.

Therefore, Prepa Tec signifies the high school division or preparatory school system associated with the Tecnológico de Monterrey. These schools are located throughout Mexico and aim to prepare students for higher education, particularly within the ITESM system, but also at other universities.

The Prepa Tec programs typically offer a rigorous academic curriculum designed to foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership skills. They often incorporate innovative teaching methodologies and technologies. While the core curriculum usually meets national education standards, Prepa Tec schools often provide additional elective courses and extracurricular activities focused on areas like science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), business, humanities, and the arts.

Graduates of Prepa Tec are generally well-prepared for university-level studies and are often given preferential consideration during the admissions process at Tecnológico de Monterrey. The Prepa Tec brand is generally associated with high academic standards, a technologically advanced learning environment, and a strong emphasis on student development.
