Private School in Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, FL

Fort Lauderdale Preparatory School, Fort Lauderdale:
Fort Lauderdale Preparatory School is a family owned and operated educational corporation located in Fort Lauderdale in Broward County in the South Florida metropolitan area, and provides programmes for kindergarten through to high school students. While being a small school, FLP strives to provide each student with knowledge about the world and aid each one in acquiring the necessary skills to participate in the world in an independent and productive manner.

Our mission is to educate young people to develop self-discipline, love of learning, and service to others. Fort Lauderdale Preparatory seeks to provide a 21st century education in a traditional school setting. To make available a supportive environment that recognizes each student as a unique individual. The school strives to foster excellence in the development of academic skills, the establishment of strong character and a positive attitude. To encourage tolerance of ethnic diversity, productive citizenship, respect for the ideals of a democratic society and to create enthusiasm for learning as a lifelong pursuit.

A school’s philosophy defines its identity. At Fort Lauderdale Preparatory School and its companion Teaching and Learning Center, we have a commitment to excellence in developmental education and a partnership between the family and the school. Our program looks at each child as a unique individual and tailors activities and learning experiences to fit his or her developmental needs. We provide a classroom with a learning centered approach.

A small school may lack the ‘bells and whistles’ of elaborate architecture, but it has proven to be more effective in almost every variable in educating children. With our rich history and institutional traditions we can offer a complete school experience including extra curricular activities such as Honor Society, Student Council, Student Newspapers & Literary magazines, Yearbook, Prom, class rings, Guest Speakers, Assemblies, school plays, extensive field trips, a formal graduation ceremony and more.

Individual Attention:
Our small classes and eclectic approach make our school different from any other. Students receive individual attention as they proceed through the educational process. Gifted students can take enrichment classes and be accelerated to keep them challenged. Our students develop self-confidence and positive self-image and become responsible for their own behavior and approach to learning.

The school provides for co-curricula activities besides the regular academic instructional program. Activities such as athletics, fine arts workshops, SAT preparation, public speaking and debating contests, driver education classes, time management workshops, as well as college and career counseling are all provided as part of our efforts to develop the whole child.

Our Staff:
Our teachers act as learning facilitators and mentors. They are trained to create appropriate learning situations that stimulate a child’s inquiring mind. At FLP our staff is committed to reaching these goals. With encouragement, each member of our student society is aided in learning the social skills and manners appropriate for seeking and maintaining productive and responsible conduct in our real world society.
