OVERVIEW

Asante Preparatory Academy academic program focuses on student growth by helping each student progress at an individual pace and depth of learning by strategically using data to help increase students' understanding and depth of learning. In order to achieve this, our teachers instruct students using stations and playlists models, to incorporate small group instruction throughout the day to meet the needs of all their students. To help parents/guardians understand what to expect in each grade, Academic Success Guides have been developed for each grade.

Opportunities for learning extend beyond the day through clubs and academic competitions. These include STEM, Robotic C, Readers Theater, Spelling Bee, Mathletes, and Lego/Tinker Club.

There are also academic signature community events that incorporate all grade levels that celebrate learning at Asante. These include Family Literacy Night and Imagine, Design, Create.
