Mission
Our vision is to create a culture of high expectations for behavior and academics through rigorous, research-based curricula and a focus on achievement. It is our goal that Akron Preparatory School scholars will attend a college preparatory high school and ultimately gain acceptance to and graduate from a four year college. It is our expectation that 100% of APS graduates will positively affect change in their local communities while making a contribution to our global society.
Program accomplishments
- The curriculum at Akron Preparatory School consists of 120 minutes of daily instruction in Reading and Mathematics and at least 60 minutes of Writing and Social Sciences. Our research-based program is aligned to the Ohio Common Core and is enhanced through a set of common instructional strategies that promote oral reading fluency, vocabulary, effective questioning, and reading comprehension across all content areas. Lesson objectives, vocabulary and homework are communicated to families via a syllabus that is sent home on a weekly basis giving our students and families a true feeling of a college-going learning environment.Expenses $5,114,815 · grants $1,048,732 · revenue $4,803,599
