PHILOSOPHY

We at ADVANTAGE PREP are dedicated to giving our children
an ADVANTAGE in PREPARING them for life. That advantage
includes high academic, moral, and spiritual standards. As a
private Christian school, ADVANTAGE PREP encourages an
integration of biblical values into daily school activities.
In fact, the study of the Bible is an APS requirement.

Advantage Prep is founded upon the tri-pillars of Knowledge,
Truth, and Freedom, as is reflected in our key verse,
John 8:31: 'You shall KNOW the truth and the TRUTH
shall set you FREE.'

We further believe that a superior education is essential in
today's society and that a college or university degree, or an
alternative form of higher education, is the norm rather than
the exception. Toward this end we assume that most, if not all,
of our students will plan on furthering their education at the
college or university level. One alternative form of higher
education, borrowed from our ancestors, is apprenticeship.
Generally speaking, such a program would give a student
guided, hands-on work experience, in a specific field of interest.

We would encourage all parent/teachers to be pro-active in
providing their students with as much experience and
exposure to real life careers as is possible. We do not
intend to imply that apprenticeship and a more traditional
college/university level education are mutually exclusive.
To the contrary, it is our contention that the more a student
is exposed to 'the real world' the better he/she will be able
to grasp and apply the lessons of the "academic world'.
