Senior High Academics
All academics at Harvest Preparatory School are focused on preparing students to be lifelong learners and are college preparatory in nature. Academics are rigorous and comprehensive, requiring students to work in a disciplined and structured manner. Grades are linked to completion of homework assignments and coursework that challenge students to demonstrate a mastery of course objectives. The student is responsible for their level of achievement. The student, with parental guidance, is fully responsible for completion of all assigned academic challenges associated with the enrolled courses. The faculty is responsible for planning, presenting, and evaluating the student’s progress and assigning appropriate grades based on the student’s performance.
