CURRICULUM OVERVIEW
6th, 7th & 8th grades
Middle School is a time to refine and hone basic skills while putting them into practical application. Academics are taught in both a step by step individualized progression as well as learning socially in a group atmosphere where peer ideas whet the academic appetite. Grades six and seven follow an un-graded curriculum dependent on individual advancement but competitive with essential skills. Curriculum for grade eight serves as a transition between Middle and High School. Advanced Students are recommended for selected ninth grade courses for high school credit. All students are required to take Physical Education in grades 6-8.
Middle School
High School
9th, 10th, 11th & 12th grades
High School builds upon the strong foundation that is provided in Middle School. Individualized programs are incorporated into each course offering. Students have the opportunity to assume leadership roles in extra and co-curriculum activities such as Student Council, Yearbook, Panache, etc. To graduate, students are required to earn a minimum of 20 credits in High School but are encouraged to follow the college preparatory program and earn 24-26 credits. Seniors who have shown outstanding ability are permitted to enroll in the State College of Florida, University of South Florida, or Lynn University Dual Enrollment Program.
College Prep & Vocational School
Beginning in their Junior Year, all students meet with a member of the administration to discuss PSAT, SAT, and the college admissions process. Concurrently students are also presented with information about vocational schools. Different methods of taking the SAT (regular or untimed) are explained to the students, as well as the support services available at colleges and universities. They are counseled that choices should be in terms of their ability, interests, performance, and goals.
Acceptance to Prew Academy

Periodic drug testing is performed to help ensure a positive learning environment. In assessing the total child, we will take into account academic readiness, social and emotional development, motivation, and family cooperation in working with the school to meet the needs of the applicant.
