School Notes:

  • Academically, our students reflect a variety of achievement levels. STAR Prep Academy is designed to challenge and enrich advanced learners, however, the school recognizes that all students are not highly capable in all curricular areas. In addition, our broad elective options attract students who are talented in the areas of performance or fine arts and need academic support in specific curricular areas.
  • The background of our students is also extremely diverse. We have several students who enroll directly from a home school environment because our supportive, small learning community is a perfect transition for students who have not attended a traditional school setting. In addition, several students have enrolled from other small private schools and find our design comfortable and familiar. Finally, many of our students come from large public schools that have not addressed their needs and are inspired by STAR Prep's structure to assist them in their learning.
  • What results in these factors is a student body that represents multiple walks of life as well as reflecting the composition of the surrounding communities. STAR Prep believes that this diversity enriches the entire student body and creates an atmosphere that helps to prepare its students for success in the real world. Some of the factors that make STAR Prep Academy unique are:
    • 10:1 maximum class size
    • Connection to STAR Education Professionals
    • Eco Internships with the onsite STAR Eco Station
    • Technology throughout the curriculum
    • Project-based, thematic learning
    • Hands-on learning and real-life application
    • Real-world experiences
    • Consistent family communication
    • Individualized academic support
    • Safe, nurturing environment
    • Acceleration opportunities
    • State-of-the-art music recording studio
    • Innovative creative arts program
    • Diverse elective and physical education classes
