About Imagine Preparatory High School
The Prep's Purpose
The Prep exists to partner with families to educate and inspire thoughtful, engaged students and leaders who graduate well-prepared for college, career, and citizenship.
The Prep's Promise
The Prep empowers students to learn at the speed of personal potential... and live up to it. Our emphasis on diversity, limited enrollment, high expectations, and culture of personalization ensures that each student is well-known and fully engaged.
The Prep's Plan
The Prep assists each student in transitioning from challenging academics to early college initiative to workplace competence through personalized instruction, project-based learning, and real-world experiences.
The Prep's Process
The Prep defines student success through MASTERY - Math, Arts, Science, Technology, Ethics/Economics, Research/Real-World Applications, and Year-long senior projects. Each student attains competency in every lesson in each subject before moving ahead. Mastery is achieved by experiencing a rigorous, college-prep curriculum, exploring concepts and engaging in research, and making real-world applications through year-long projects. Concepts mastered are demonstrated through student-selected exhibitions of learning.
The Prep's Principles
The Prep's Principles are organized around three equally important concepts: The "I Factor," with the emphasis on individualized learning and achievement; "WOW" - Windows on the World, enabling students to explore the world of work; and "AWE" – Imagine Prep's integrated approach to Assessment, Workmanship, and Exhibitions of Learning. From these seminal ideas come multiple benefits to our students. The "I Factor" ensures that teachers and students can know each other well. "WOW" links learning to career choices and life pathways. "AWE" focuses on the rigorous Imagine Prep Curriculum - MASTERY, coupled with our technology-enriched coursework and Smart Lab, an applied Science lab where students experience project based learning. This vital combination culminates in success for every student.
