Educational Philosophy
Holistic Education
American Prep education is a holistic education. It encompasses the whole spectrum of a person’s experiences and practical realities in this life and even in the hereafter. It embraces the mental, physical, social, and spiritual dimensions to the maximum development possible.
Spiritual Dimension
In its broadest sense the education provided by American Prep International even attempts to merge and connect the ordinary minds to the loving Infinite Designer/Spirit to become extra-ordinary young visionaries.
Individualistic
American Prep education recognizes individual differences and that every student, regardless of his/her own peculiarity of character or personality deserves to be respected and loved. Each student is viewed as a positive potential for goodness and truth that spans eternity.
From the backdrop of the conflict between Light and Darkness, American Prep education offers something different from others as regards to the teaching strategies and broad curricular delivery that identify and/or close the student learning gaps.
American Prep education endeavors to instill in each student that “something better” which will elevate him/her to the highest ideals in relationship with fellowmen and the Ultimate Designer.
Home School Collaboration
Central to the American Prep International School philosophy is the great value that the school places on collaboration between the home and the school. American Prep believes that real success in the deeper aspects of education can only be achieved as parents and teachers consciously and willingly cooperate and collaborate with one another.
It is because of this belief that the school has put in place several structures and procedures to support such collaboration and communication. It is also in the spirit of this collaboration that the school at times dares to suggest to parents various ways of becoming involved in the education of their children.
Five Focus Areas
Although American Prep education is very broad in its scope, it is also specific in its focus. Educators at American Prep International are all committed to emphasize the following 5 cross-curricular focus areas: Creativity, Critical thinking, Collaboration, Communication and Compassion.
American Prep International School believes that an emphasis on these 5 focus areas, against the general backdrop of holistic education mentioned above, will truly bear lasting and valuable fruit in the lives of the students entrusted into our care!
