Academy
Prep Center of St. Petersburg began in 1997 with boys
in grades 5 and 6, and in the summer of 2000, on the success
of the program for boys, launched its program for girls beginning
with grade 5. The St. Petersburg program now serves boys and
girls in grades 5 through 8 and currently supports graduates
in high schools and colleges locally and around the nation.
Academy Prep Center of Tampa
opened in the summer of 2003 to boys and girls in grade 5.
A new grade was added each year and the school now hosts boys
and girls in grades 5 through 8. The Tampa campus graduated
its first class in the spring of 2007 and continues to provide
support to graduates in grades 9 through 12.
 Academy
Prep's Graduate Support Program
will support our students for their 4 years on campus, and
is committed to helping our graduates earn full scholarships
for college prep high schools and four year universities.
We are dedicated to staying with our graduates, never losing
sight of them and providing direct assistance throughout their
educational careers.
The 2 campuses in St. Petersburg and Tampa and the Graduate
Support Program are sustained through the support of the Academy
Prep Foundation.
RESULTS THAT MATTER
 95%
of Academy Prep Alumni are in high school, college or have
started their careers.

Many of our students come from single parent households
and are the first generation in their families to graduate
from college.
 Many
of Academy Preps students start significantly below grade
level and typically advance two grade levels in reading
and almost three grade levels in math within two years..
 Our
daily attendance rates surpass that of private or public
middle schools in respective counties and exceed the percentages
of minority students attending or graduating from college.
