Our Perspective on Agora Prep Academy

It’s true that no school is right for every student, and that’s something that Agora has taken absolutely to heart. Some students thrive in highly structured, regimented environments, though very many others don’t. The program has been developed to be student-lead, active, engaging and dynamic, a true marketplace of ideas and experiences, as indeed the name suggests. Staff is prone to look beyond the school walls, bringing in members of the wider community, including business owners, adding a welcome dimension to classroom instruction. Learning is project based, making use of a wide range of supports, from staff expertise to AI. It’s a bold program, and one to which very many students respond enthusiastically to.
