Academic Philosophy
The mission of the Palm Beach Prep academic program is to encourage our students to cultivate a love of learning that will serve as a solid foundation for their future experiences throughout college and beyond. Therefore, it is paramount that we provide our students with a dynamic and functional curriculum. It is the educational environment at Palm Beach Prep that will lay the groundwork for their future academic endeavors. This academic foundation is what we believe will ensure that our graduates enter the next stage of their lives with a tenacity for personal growth, a curiosity for acquiring knowledge, and deep understanding of themselves and the world around them. Maintaining an enthusiastic love of learning is the standard that we hold ourselves and our educators to. It is our hope that the students at Palm Beach Prep find this enthusiasm to be inspiring, and carry it with them throughout their lives. We strongly believe that learning is a lifelong process, and that a strong academic foundation can provide stability, opportunity, and the freedom to pursue any and all goals our students may set for themselves.
At Palm Beach Prep, we expect our students to contribute to the classroom environment by, above all else, being present and open to learning. We want our students to be comfortable asking questions and unafraid to challenge themselves, as we encourage respectful and robust academic curiosity. Educators will be available for office hours and accessible via email and the Moodle learning management system. At Palm Beach Prep we understand that balance is an essential element of student and athletic life. We encourage our students to recognize the necessity of time management, and to reach out to our academic community in order to better navigate this aspect of their daily lives. We strongly believe that Palm Beach Prep is a community, and we are all working together to guide our students in a way that will allow them to continue on the path of realizing their full potential.
