What Makes Us Different

Vision-of-Excellence.jpg

At Wonderful College Prep Academy, all students will possess a personal vision of excellence, connecting their goals to college and their future dreams. The Academy’s five behaviors for excellence are Persist, Be Responsible, Innovate, Voice and Connect.

 

Elementary and Middle School

From kindergarten through 8th grade, our students love going to school. Our one-on-one support helps students succeed and sparks a love for learning. Through music and arts, our students develop creativity and self-discipline. Small class sizes and caring teachers provide a fun, friendly, safe environment they will love.

 

High School

Our high school students choose between two pathways: Liberal Arts or Ag Business. Free tutoring help students to complete college classes so they can get one to two years of college credit under their belt prior to entering a

four-year university. This reduces time spent in college,

thus reducing overall costs.
