ACCREDITED ACADEMIC PROGRAM
Accredited Academic Program
Pillsbury College Prep provides an in-classroom model that tailors a challenging education for both gifted students as well as students who need extra academic support. Since we are a small school, each student gets extensive individualized attention in each course.
Pillsbury College Prep offers course instruction with core technologies that enhance teaching and learning by tailoring the course content to each student’s learning needs, meeting students at their level and allowing them to learn at their own pace. This highly effective personalized approach has enabled students to gain momentum in their education and pursue the rigorous studies needed to achieve college and career readiness. We offer rigorous courses developed to challenge and motivate even the most gifted students along with specialty courses designed to help students achieve their post-secondary educational goals.
We also offer tutoring courses to give students the extra support they need to succeed. Targeted intervention restores students confidence and achievement.
The learning environment is highly motivational for students to succeed without the negative pressure that can be detrimental to learning. They gain the ability to tap into the instinctive desire to want to learn.
There are quizzes and unit exams as well as research projects and reports to continually assess and develop a student’s full potential. Students are tested early in the school year with national standardized testing to assess their learning levels. Pillsbury College Prep meets state Department of Education graduation requirements.
