St. Paul's Preparatory Academy is a “next step” boarding school that prepares young men in grades 8-12 for success in the next phase of their education. The Academy assesses, strengthens, and supports students for the sake of personal growth, spiritual awareness, character development and academic progress. It provides a safe and supportive environment that encourages the formation of the habits, and skills necessary for good health, friendship, independence, and the realization of a student's academic potential in less structured learning environments, including college. Troubled teens, students in recovery, or young men struggling with learning disabilities such as ADD, ADHD, and/or NLD will find academic and social success as well as emotional and spiritual growth through individual and group counseling conducted by our licensed, Master’s level counseling staff; small classes, that average around 5 students; appropriate accommodations; academic coaching from a certified learning specialist; character education programming; ethical and spiritual reflection; interscholastic sports; healthy leisure activities; and fulfilling volunteerism.
Academics St. Paul's Academy offers a challenging curriculum that stresses the humanities and the cultivation of creativity, the formation of critical thinking skills, sound mental habits, and eloquence. St. Paul's helps students to achieve high standards of academic performance through academic skills assessment and remediation by our learning specialist; the accommodation of learning differences; small class sizes, with an average of 5 students; academic coaching, provided through one-on-one tutoring with our teachers and learning specialist; and a highly qualified and dedicated faculty. Because of the quality and experience of the faculty and the careful organization of time set aside for personal instruction and guidance, each student will find a superior academic program at St. Paul's. The Academy operates on a 12 month, one-course-at-a time block schedule that minimizes problems of attention and executive functioning while maximizing the benefits of its open enrollment policy; students may enroll at any time and begin earning credit immediately. One-hundred percent of St. Paul's graduating seniors have been accepted into college. Thus, St. Paul's Academy's graduation requirements are based on the entrance requirements of the State University System in Arizona and closely parallel the admission requirements of most colleges and universities throughout the United States. A graduation plan is established for each student upon enrollment and is followed throughout his tenure at the Academy.
Learning Differences "St. Paul's works with students with learning differences like: dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, dyspraxia, apraxia, auditory processing disorders, visual processing disorders, non-verbal learning disorders, low processing speed, AD/HD, Asperger's, developmental disabilities, speech and communication disorders, executive functioning deficits, and language based learning disabilities. Student interest is stimulated by the rotation of teaching modalities, which include: visual, audio, and kinesthetic techniques. Students with learning differences often find that the school's size and diverse teaching styles, along with block scheduling, are conducive to their learning needs. With more hands-on, experiential learning, our learning specialist is available to work with those students with learning differences in order to recognize and appropriately compensate for their deficiencies. In addition to the structure and support that St. Paul's offers students with learning differences, accommodations are made, such as: books on tape, receiving a copy of class notes before the lecture, or preferential seating, for example. Approximately 60% of our students at St. Paul's have had a diagnosis of AD/HD, and our students with AD/HD find greater success as a result of St. Paul's refined academic program, which includes: small classes highly structured day-to-day living including structured and supervised study time strong positive reinforcement experienced and well trained teachers who are dedicated to the success of each individual student, regardless of learning differences study skills and executive functioning tutoring provided by our learning specialist and teachers education through both study skills tutoring and counseling on the symptoms of AD/HD Our block schedule plays to the strengths of our students with AD/HD, as having only one class at a time greatly decreases the demands on executive skills, and allows students to focus their mental energy on the subject at hand rather than juggling the organizational and time management demands of six concurrent classes. This schedule significantly cuts down on transitions between classes, which are very challenging for students with AD/HD. Additionally, our unique block schedule allows for repeated exposure to material without interruption or distraction while incorporating more hands-on, project-based learning opportunities.
