The Preparatory School was originally established as a division within Brigham Young Academy in 1882 to replace the Primary Department and aid the Intermediate Department. In 1093, when the Academy was arranged into eight schools and departments, the Preparatory School was organized to provide an education for older students below the High school grade who had limited opportunities for education to complete the eighth grade. The school boasted an environment without social distinctions where students could properly learn with older peers. When Brigham Young Academy became Brigham Young University in 1904, the same structure of the separated schools was kept with an approved principal directing each school. The schools and departments organized in 1904 were the Kindergarten Department, Preparatory Department, Missionary Department, High School, Normal School, Commercial School, Music School, and Collegiate Department.
