Parents - A day in the life

Imagine Prep is organized around three guiding principles... "I," "WOW," and "AWE." The "I" factor places an emphasis on individualized learning and achievement. "WOW," or Windows on the World, enables students to explore the world of work through internships. "AWE" defines Imagine Prep's integrated approach to Assessment, Workmanship, and Exhibitions of Learning. The daily life of our students reflects these principles.

Here's a sample of what a student experiences in our college prep learning environment:

"I" FACTOR

With a small learning community limited to 400-600 students, teens have the opportunity to be well-known by teachers and staff. Every student works with a small group of peers and a faculty member, experiencing the value of mentoring, peer support, personal education plans, and character/ethics development throughout the school year. In addition, this one-on-one interaction fosters leadership development and holds students accountable for initiating student projects, student-created digital portfolios, and community service opportunities. Our individualized approach to learning helps identify and facilitate support services for students needing enrichment opportunities.


One-on-one mentoring gives students an opportunity to remain focused, engaged, and involved in the learning process while exploring college and career choices.	Peer groups explore concepts of citizenship, ethics, and character development while collaborating on community service projects and leadership opportunities.	Competitive sports build discipline, develop personal leadership skills, and foster collaborative teamwork with peers.
