High Academic Standards Emphasizing a Strong Student Work Ethic: Although less time is spent in school, Wylie Prep. is still a full-time program, and high standards have been set to encourage the development and maintenance of a strong work ethic among students.
Low Student/Teacher Ratio: Low student/teacher ratios provide for greater instructional effectiveness and thus better use of limited classroom time. Wylie Prep. has set its maximum student/teacher ratio at 16:1 for all core classes.
Professional and Local Management: Wylie Prep. is directed by professionals and governed at the school level.
Admission Policies That Consider Student Supervision: Since students participating in a University-Model School® will spend less time in the central classroom at school, Wylie Prep. has admission policies that consider the adult supervision of minors while students are in their satellite classroom at home.
To start the Admission Process:
Attend an Information Meeting
Review School Material
Pray about your decision
Complete and return Admission Application
Sign up for Placement Testing
Semester-by-Semester Admission and Registration: Students will enter courses only at the beginning of a semester, not while the semester is in progress.
Semester Length: Given that classroom instructional time is decreased significantly in this model, the regular semester length for Wylie Prep. will be no less than 16 weeks in duration.
Single Subject (and Grade Level) Classes: All academic classes are offered as single subject (or grade level) classes to best utilize available instructional time.
Course Prerequisites: Course prerequisites have been established to provide the professional teachers with a clear starting point for course instruction. These prerequisites include admissions testing.
Flexible Course Level Registration: Course registration at Wylie Prep. is flexible enough to allow students to advance by individual course rather than by complete grade level to ensure mastery of all subject matter in a given course sequence.
Grade Levels: Grades 1 through 12 are currently offered.
Non-denominational: Wylie Prep.’s Statement of Faith is fundamental to basic Christian tenets and contains those doctrines to which we unreservedly adhere and teach. We desire to remain united in the salvation and love of Christ, avoiding the dissention which may be caused by denominational distinctives.
Non-discriminatory Policy: Wylie Preparatory Academy admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to its students and does not discriminate on the basis of race in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarships and loan programs, and athletic and other school administered programs.
