Online Learning - Welcome

Bradenton Preparatory Academy's Online Curriculum

Welcome
For the past twenty-nine years we have worked with young people to help them reach their academic goals. Along the way we have had the opportunity of educating students who did not fit into a traditional classroom setting, but who desired a college-preparatory curriculum. The challenges have been great, but the rewards equally as satisfying. Under our guidance we have placed top student athletes in colleges that include the most selective schools not only in America, but around the world.

We do this by acknowledging that students must develop all areas of their ability and recognizing that typically those who excel in academics usually apply that same work ethic in sports, music, and the performing arts.

For several years we have researched online programs. The online classroom allows us to customize and present an educational experience that will challenge and engage students.

In a true partnership, the teacher and student can now work together and simulate a viable classroom experience without walls. We are proud to present an anytime, anywhere education that will not compromise true standards of academic achievement.
