Academic Model

THE BIG PICTURE

Academy Prep’s educational model is rigorous and focused on our scholars acquiring and applying knowledge. Classes develop scholars’ critical thinking and problem solving, but first we teach our incoming scholars how to be successful students. With high structure and consistent procedures, our scholars become organized, accountable, and achievement-oriented. By encouraging them to “think about their own thinking” our scholars become invested in their own learning.
