Our Mission
"Our mission is to bring innovation to education while giving each child what he or she needs to be successful, recognizing that not every child needs the same thing."
Founder's Vision
"Supporting our students in their pursuit of educational and personal excellence, while developing strong bonds between students and teachers."
Robert A. Flanders Founder, Central Florida Preparatory School
Educational Philosophy
At Central Florida Prep, we believe every child deserves a learning environment that meets them where they are and challenges them to reach their full potential.
Optimizing Academic Potential
CFP seeks to provide every student with an opportunity to optimize their academic potential, to develop a positive self-image, and to encourage a life-long desire for learning.
Individualized Learning Styles
The school believes that to effectively optimize a child's academic potential, it must provide a learning environment that incorporates a variety of learning techniques while accommodating individual learning styles.
Smaller Class Sizes
A low student/teacher ratio allows teachers to better understand how each student learns, individualize lesson plans, be more responsive to students' needs, and continually challenge them academically.
Nothing is Extracurricular
Nothing a student does at CFP is considered extracurricular: lessons learned in the STEM lab or English classroom are as vital as lessons learned on the playing field, in the art studio, or in the culinary kitchen.
Dynamic Curriculum
Our dynamic curriculum encourages children at each stage of their educational, emotional, and social development to discover their own innate talents and interests.
Nurturing Environment
Above all, CFP offers a nurturing learning environment that develops life-long learners who are engaged, knowledgeable, self-reflective, and self-directed.
