Planning
The Prep has a demanding
traditional academic program with
a classical emphasis that provides
students a solid, balanced
education which utilizes basic time
tested knowledge and skills in
history, languages, literature, math,
reading, science and the arts that
become increasingly complex
throughout the course of study.
Standards are set high in the firm
belief that higher standards will
lead to higher student achievement.

High School
The Prep continues to attract High
School students who desire a
challenging academic experience
that will prepare them for college.  
To graduate, students must
complete and receive a passing
grade in 24 credits of High School
course work. Transfer credit is
assessed based upon previous
course content, completion,
and mastery level.
