Empowering our Students 
as they Transition to a Brighter Future

Join our "Pack"

Schoolhouse Preparatory  prepares students with learning differences to develop critical life skills for transitioning into adulthood, and the world of work as they earn both high school and college credits in a nurturing educational environment.            

The Mission of Schoolhouse Preparatory is to provide  students with learning differences  an enriched high school experience in a safe environment. We believe in  educating and forming the whole person  while molding character and achieving academic excellence. 

Miami Dade College, a proud partner of Schoolhouse Prep provides our students with the opportunity to begin taking college credits beginning in 10th grade directly at their campus in order to assist with the transition to secondary education. Through the Dual Enrollment, students can graduate with up to 48 college credits toward their Bachelor's Degree.  

Our students are given the opportunity to explore different career choices through numerous internships and on the job training while earning credits toward a high school diploma.  Support and guidance is given to every student as they transition to life after high school and enter post-secondary education and the world of work.  
          
          Our "Wolfpack"  is composed of a close circle of teachers, families and students where life-long friendships are fostered.  Like the Wolfpack, we support and embrace each other's differences and always stand together - never alone. 
                                        
        Once you belong to the Pack... You never go back!

Our Approach

It is our belief that student learning is enhanced when instruction is done in a nurturing and supportive small group setting using stimulating lessons that improve the learning process.  

Student textbooks are visually designed to assist learners who struggle with attention and concentration. These textbooks meet state and national standards and have been clinically proven to improve student achievement.

Study strategies and organizational skills are incorporated into the curriculum.

 Parent Teacher Communication

Communication with our families is a vital part of our school.  Progress reports are sent home biweekly to ensure that parents are aware of their child’s progress.  Parents are able to contact our staff at any time by email or by phone.

Nurturing and Safe Learning Environment

At Schoolhouse Prep, each student is viewed as a unique member of our “Wolfpack”.  We embrace each other’s strengths and provide support for our challenges.  Our school has a Zero Tolerance policy for bullying and harassment. Our nurturing school environment promotes personal and social growth for all our students.

Univision invited our Sophomore MariCarmen Suarez and Dr. Gigi to their Saturday Morning show "Hoy en Nuestra Comunidad".  MariCarmen gave TV audiences a candid view of her life as a teenager with Asperger's Syndrome. She spoke about the vital role that the family plays in helping those with this disorder overcome the challenges that life will bring. She is truly a role model and an inspiration for other teenagers with Aspergers.
