WHAT CURRICULUM DOES AUG PREP USE?
We have analyzed several curricula in every grade level and content area in order to identify the best options for our students. We believe that curriculum is a tool to be utilized by a highly effective teacher, but every student is different and must be approached as an individual. We have identified “power standards” in every grade, with rigorous end of year goals for students. Teachers will have a variety of tools and guides to help them pursue those goals, while still respecting the individual teaching style of the teacher and the academic needs of the student.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY PERSONALIZED LEARNING?
We strive to provide each student with what they need to learn and continue lifelong learning. For some students this may mean after school or WIN-time tutoring; for others it may mean additional 'challenge’ classwork to keep the student engaged in learning. Mainly, for most students and on a daily basis, personalized learning will consist of modified learning activities to meet students where they are in their learning and challenge them to master the power standards.

St. Augustine Prep is a non-denominational Christian school committed to helping students understand Scripture and develop a personal relationship with Jesus. To this end, students will have the opportunity to study the Bible and Christian theology in the classroom and attend regular chapel services.Because we believe Jesus calls us to follow Him in every aspect of our lives, all classes are taught from a Christian worldview. Our teachers integrate faith into their subject areas, helping students see how the truths of Scripture connect to every discipline. Students will be encouraged to explore how subjects such as science and literature align with a Biblical perspective.In all that we do, our goal is to demonstrate that the gospel powerfully shapes the way Christians live every part of their lives.
