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 two school-sponsored activities per year (sports teams, clubs, etc.) in order to more fully develop their confidence, interpersonal skills, leadership qualities and respect for others. The Professional Arc provides opportunities for students to spend one day per week in a professional setting to increase their understanding of the business world, reinforce character and leadership development, and serve as a means for students to gain valuable work experience.
