Programs

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.
