HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES
Peachtree Prep
Tthe heart-beat of Peachtree Learning Center is the fine Arts, the first way we plan to partner with students and parents is by providing the opportunity to earn Fine Arts Elective Credits. Secondly, it is our pleasure to offer core-subjects required for high school graduation.
​
Our partnership with parents
Peachtree Prep is designed to partner with parents who are the primary authority and educator for their children. As the primary authority and educator, it is the parent's responsibility to maintain accountability with their student's academic progress. Peachtree Prep teachers will provide 1 to 1.5 hours of classroom instruction (see course descriptions) each week, communicate course expectations through a course syllabus and online grade reporting.
Parents are responsible for enrolling their child with the supervising agency of their choice: either a church related school or local public school system. Parents are responsible for all testing and attendance/grade reporting to the agency of choice.
​
Our plan
Fine Arts classes will be offered once a week, with a focus on mastery of art concepts through projects and assignments weekly. Academic classes will provide a once a week classroom experience with four days of assignments to be completed over the course week. Teachers will provide a course syllabus which will include the curriculum being used; classroom and academic expectations; and how grades will be determined for the class.
