High School Academic Program
The High School academic program develops ethical global citizens that impact our society through leadership, service, and honor. D-PREP works with students to develop a course of study that brings out the unique strengths of each individual and inspires them to passionately pursue their interests with the aim to better the world around them.
DREAM and DISCOVER one’s strengths and passions
In the 9th grade, all students enroll in “Futures” which is a course based on knowing oneself and discovering one’s passions. With this in mind, students will be prepared to choose a course of study based on their strengths and interests.
DELIVER: Courses of Study
D-PREP offers four courses of study packaged into four unique pathways. Each pathway contains an internship experience and a D-PREP Advanced Project. The Internship is a real-world experience related to the topic of the pathway. The D-PREP Advanced project is an in-depth learning experience that serves as an application of knowledge that must be completed by the Fall semester of the senior year.
The four courses of study are:
- Global Leadership & Entrepreneurship: Students enroll in college-prep courses that emphasize global issues and understanding. Unique to this pathway are two courses: ethical leadership and social entrepreneurship.
- STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics): Students enroll in the AP Capstone Diploma and in two unique courses: Science Technology, and Society and Design Technology.
- Advanced Placement International Diploma: Students will take courses to achieve the AP International Diploma. Included in the program is the AP Capstone Diploma.
- D-PREP Passion Program: The D-PREP Passion program allows for maximum flexibility for students to pursue their passions. Students design a course to meet graduation requirements while adding independent learning opportunities. Examples of programs include a study in the arts, music or athletic programs.
Advanced Placement Program
The Advanced Placement (AP) Program allows students to take AP Courses which serve as introductory college level courses developed by the College Board. Upon completion of these courses and passing the year end AP exam (score of 3 and above), students may submit test results to colleges and universities for college credit.
AP Capstone Diploma
Students who earn scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar and AP Research and on four additional AP Exams of their choosing receive the AP Capstone Diploma™. Students who earn scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar and AP Research but not on four additional AP Exams receive the AP Seminar and Research Certificate™.
