The Story
| Programs | ||
| Academy
Prep is designed to promote an appreciation for hard work,
growth in personal responsibility, and academic and social skills.
To accomplish these guiding principles, our programs are aimed at
educating "the whole child." |

| Campus Clean-up | ||
 Academy
Prep is in the business of teaching personal responsibility. One of
the ways students at Academy Prep learn to take responsibility for
their actions is by cleaning their campus. Each afternoon, after academic
coursework and before the after-school activity program, students
clean the campus-mop floors, pick up trash, clean bathrooms, and generally
make their campus a place of pride. |

 Summer
camp includes academics in the mornings and swimming lessons and extra-curricular
activities each afternoon. The summer program also serves as the final
leg of the admission process, as all prospective students attend,
along with returning Academy Prep students. At the end of the summer
program, the new 5th and 6th grade class rosters are finalized. |

| Graduate Support | ||
 Academy
Prep and the Director of Graduate Support work with the students,
schools, and parents, receiving academic and behavior reports and
keeping regular contact with students. The Graduate Support program
support begins while students are still attending Academy Prep, with
interviews and discussions designed to identify the best high school
fit for each Academy Prep student on graduation.
