Welcome to the Frazier Preparatory Academy!

Mission Statement
We believe in our responsibility to partner with parents, creating a safe environment in which students from diverse backgrounds and of varied abilities:

• Strive for academic excellence
• Explore a culturally diverse curriculum
• Prepare to succeed in a global environment
• Provide service to a growing community
• Participate in character education, developing a respect for others through exemplary mentorship
• Experience cooperative educational communities in all content areas from fine arts to technology
• Develop into life long learners

Design: We will offer an extended school day and academic year to allow for true mastery rather than cursory coverage of the curriculum.

Curriculum: Frazier Preparatory Academy’s curriculum will combine the rigors of solid skill building in the core content areas of English/Language Arts, Math and Science with our award winning, interdisciplinary humanities and social studies curriculum called Paragon. The core curriculum will include the nation’s top rated Open Court Reading, SRA Math, Harcourt Brace Science, and Spanish. Students will receive the rigor of core courses coupled with the “hands-on” approach of Paragon that enables them to practically apply what they learn in class.

Technology:
To master true computer literacy, students require hands-on access to computers as a tool for authentic learning. Frazier Preparatory Academy will equip each classroom with computers and provide a laptop for each teacher and administrator.

Assessment:  The barometers that will gauge Frazier Preparatory Academy’s success include higher student standardized test scores, market progress in the quality of performance-based assessments, improved student attendance, and retention as well as enhanced motivation, satisfaction, and morale on the part of students, teachers, and parents.

Secure Environment:
Safety is a top priority. Frazier Preparatory Academy will provide an emotionally and physically safe learning environment. We recognize that effective instruction requires an orderly environment focused on learning and that the school must support parents’ efforts to teach their children the principles of excellence. We are committed to providing students with a sense of belonging and a feeling of significance so that they fell safe to learn, to grow, and to thrive.

Teachers: Frazier Preparatory Academy is committed to hiring, training, and retaining star teachers and talented leaders in educational management. All teachers will be highly qualified, experienced individuals who have a strong sense of purpose and a willingness to challenge themselves as life long learners, as they would challenge their students. Our teachers will compel all students to excel by concentrating on engaging every child in learning and by holding students to high standards.

Parents: We believe that a close connection between home and school is crucial to student performance. Frazier Preparatory Academy will expect parents to be actively engaged in their children’s education. Because every child needs stability, continuity and a champion who believes in his or her human potential, Frazier Preparatory Academy will work to foster a close connection between home and school. Specifically, the school will work with parents and other adults with positive influence to improve attendance, to assist with homework, and to intercede at the first hint of difficulty
