UPHOLDING THE PUBLIC TRUST

​

APA is built on a foundation of Public Trust. 

We believe that a public school’s central mission is two-fold:

​

1.    To ensure that each student achieves maximum academic proficiency and,

2.    To ensure that each student develops virtuous character and motivation for productive citizenry, that thereby students become effective citizens of a free, self-governing nation, and possess the intelligence, skills and desire to dedicate a portion of their lives to changing the world for the better.

 

The trust of the citizens of our nation, expressed in their hard-earned tax dollars flowing to our public schools, must be maintained through strict accountability to these two objectives, and repaid by students who benefit from that public trust by their diligence, hard work and commitment to community and self-government.

 

APA offers a rich curriculum focused on early literacy, critical thinking, and classical education values. Its distinct features include small classes, Leveled Learning, a cell phone-free environment, patriotic education, our innovative critical thinking framework Powerminds in all grades K-12, and a highly motivating, positive approach to discipline and student self-management. The school also emphasizes community involvement, service to others, social and professional etiquette, and the power of positive thinking - all contributing to the nurturing of well-rounded, academically-proficient students.
