Prep is short for prepatory and prepatory means to prepare so a prepatory school means that that school prepares the students for high school/college and life.

But there's a LOT more.

The most famous ones/best ones are filled with kids who can really THINK. you are put into an environment that includes every one, and you aren't afraid that you'll be "too smart" because every body is intelligent and intellectual (well, most). what they teach goes up and beyond what you would get at an average high school.

Most also have an extensive extracurricular program (not academic stuff), like sports and the arts.

They're basically trying to prepare you for the colleges that you will be looking for if you go to a good prep school (like Ivy-leagues etc.)
