Accredited Academics

Explore the curriculum, programs, and academic support available to students at New Richmond Preparatory Academy.

Students learn in a kind, safe environment where families feel welcomed and supported. The curriculum includes a strong foundation in core subjects (English Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies), along with enriching electives in the arts, physical education, STEM, and writing. Hands-on learning and monthly STEM challenges—like pumpkin launches, egg drops, and earthquake simulations—make learning meaningful and fun while helping students build confidence and real-world problem-solving skills.

Powered by AMP/edu

Our school is powered by the AMP/edu ecosystem — a unified, modern learning platform that strengthens classroom instruction and enhances every student's learning experience. AMP brings together curriculum, tools, and resources in one cohesive system, helping teachers deliver engaging, consistent instruction and giving students confidence with a well-supported, high-quality education.

Electives

Electives allow students to explore new interests and develop skills beyond the core curriculum. These courses foster creativity, build confidence, and encourage personal growth, helping students prepare for a well-rounded future.

Art

Students engage with visual art through creative, hands-on projects that encourage self-expression and build confidence. In the early grades, they explore color, texture, and design while building fine motor skills. Artistic exploration supports academic learning and social-emotional growth by encouraging curiosity, focus, and reflection.

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math)

STEM learning is a key part of our academic program. Students apply what they’re learning in science and math to hands-on engineering and technology projects. Through monthly activities like building drag cars, simulating earthquakes, or launching pumpkins, students learn to collaborate, think critically, and problem-solve in fun and meaningful ways.

Writing

Writing is a central part of learning across grade levels. Students learn how to organize their ideas, revise their work, and express themselves with clarity and confidence—building skills that support success in every subject.

Physical Education

Our Physical Education program encourages fitness, coordination, and healthy habits for life. Students take part in structured activities that promote teamwork, sportsmanship, and perseverance. PE also supports focus and emotional well-being, making it an important part of the school day.

Drama

Students in the drama elective step out of their comfort zones to master the art of performance, character development, and creative storytelling.

ACCEL Instructional Model (AIM)

Our school is built on a strong foundation of high expectations for academic achievement for all students. We implement the ACCEL Instructional Model (AIM) which focuses on four key components to achieve strong academic results:

Individualized Instruction

Students participate in a variety of learning activities each day that individualize instruction for each subject area. Students receive whole class instruction, small group instruction, and individual instruction with teachers, technology and other curricular tools.

Properly Certified & Licensed Teachers

Our teachers meet the requirements set forth by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA): Bachelor’s degree, grade-level teaching license/certificate & ability to demonstrate subject area expertise. Our teachers are supported by trainers and participate in continuous, research-based professional development. Our teachers are accountable for student learning and rewarded for high quality performance.

More Time on Task

Our students receive double the instruction in ELA and Math to provide a strong foundation for all learning. Beginning with full-day Kindergarten, our school also follows a longer school day and school year than many other schools.

Short Cycle Assessments

Student knowledge of academic standards is assessed formally and informally in short cycles by each teacher. Our teachers then adjust class-level and individual instruction based on data-driven student performance in these frequent intervals.
