Do we have a school model that we're governed by?

Harrison Preparatory School is a candidate school for the 
International Baccalaureate (IB)Program. The IB Middle Years
Program is designed to grant students access to an international
education. The purpose is to help students develop the
knowledge, understanding, attitudes and skills necessary to
participate actively and successfully in a changing world.

Why grades 6-12?

Harrison Preparatory School provides a real opportunity to create 
a seamless curriculum that can stretch students' capacity for
authentic, intellectual work. A school with this grade span can
realize the positive impact of a sustained teacher-student
relationship and the capacity of teachers to create in-depth
learning based on knowing their students and building on their
previous performance. One cohesive system that has a common
focus on a clear set of student competencies, using the same
rigorous assessments has the capacity to cover critical learning
in more depth, over time and at more complex and sophisticated
levels.

Are there sports and other extra-curricular activities?

physical activities to include soccer, basketball, cross-country
running, and flag-football. Sports offerings are intramural and

Art Guild, Knowledge Bowl, and Leadership. Other activities will
be added based on student interest.
