The new school year is now underway, it’s crucial for parents to carefully monitor the quality of instruction and the curriculum being used in their student’s high school. If the educational experience and on campus culture isn’t meeting your expectations for excellence, it might be time to consider a change for your student’s long-term benefit. Even though it might seem like it is too soon to consider making a change, it is important to consider lost learning opportunities – you don’t want your student to fall behind in being prepared for the next grade or for college. Jefferson Preparatory High School is just that – we prepare our students for academic success in high school and in college. It is important to note that not all public charter schools in Phoenix AZ, are the same, and each one offers a unique approach to education. Our unique approach is student success through a classical approach to education, focusing on how students learn best, not just test memorization.
A classical approach to education is rooted in the time-tested traditions of Western civilization. We emphasize the development of critical thinking, a deep understanding of the liberal arts, and the nurturing of virtuous character. Research supports the effectiveness of a classical education; studies have shown that students from classical schools tend to outperform their peers on standardized tests and are better prepared for the rigors of college and life beyond¹.
Our school’s values are integral to everything we do. We believe that parents play a crucial role in the learning process, and we encourage active parental involvement. We also emphasize the importance of personal responsibility, integrity, and respect, as outlined in our mission statement here. Our academic rigor provides students with the necessary skills not just to survive in this modern world, but to compete and excel as future leaders adequately equipped to navigate the complex challenges of society.
