Urban Prep Arcs
The Urban Prep approach to education is to encircle the student with four connecting arcs that provide a comprehensive educational experience. The Academic Arc promotes a rigorous college-prep curriculum that focuses on Reading, Writing, and Public Speaking. In the Service Arc, students’ sense of responsibility is deepened by identifying community needs and completing volunteer programs to address those needs. The Activity Arc requires students to participate in school-sponsored activities each year (sports teams, clubs, etc.) in order to more fully develop their confidence, interpersonal skills, leadership qualities and respect for others. The Professional/College Arc provides opportunities for students to spend time in a professional setting or on a college campus to increase their understanding of the wider world, reinforce character and leadership development, and serve as a means for students to gain valuable experience.
