College Prep

I love the environment. I love the way the teachers work with the students. The classrooms are smaller. I just love it when the teachers know that a student is struggling with something. They get in contact with the parent right away and make sure it gets handled. They start working with the student one-on-one to make sure that child gets the help they need. She's going to go to Ánimo Venice for high school.

College Prep Curriculum

We believe that every child must be prepared for college, leadership, and life - and that begins as soon as our students walk in our doors as 6th graders.
