ADVISORIES/CLASSES

When students enter University Prep Elementary School they are placed in a class with one highly qualified teacher and 15 other students. This group stays together for two years. This enables teachers to get to know each student very well and maximize opportunities for learning. Students, parents, and teachers build strong, collaborative relationships that are used to accelerate the development of every individual student. At the start of the second year, students know exactly what to expect. They have developed a strong bond with their teacher and peers, and everyone can get deeply involved in learning from day one.

Elementary students receive instruction in English Language Arts, Social Studies, Math, and Science in their classroom groupings. They also spend one hour per day in AMPP (Art, Music, Physical Education, and Performing Arts) classes. These classes are taught by teachers who specialize in these areas.
