Upper School (Grades 7-12) students at Fort Lauderdale Preparatory School are growing each year to maximize their talent and potential. In every facet of their lives – academically, socially, physically – our students keep a sharp eye on fun, fulfillment and individual achievement. These are the years that Middle School students dreamed about – the “top of the food chain” students at the head of an accomplished, disciplined and successful student community.
Upper School students at FLPS are poised for accomplishment. They are encouraged by our faculty to accelerate critical thinking and problem solving skills that will serve them academically and among their peers. Self-esteem and self-motivation are critical to the growth of students in this age group, and Fort Lauderdale Preparatory School provides just the right environment for a bountiful harvest.
The interconnected nature of this age group lends itself well to learning success. But when the positive spirit for achievement is nurtured, all things are possible. FLPS knows how to extract the best from these students, so your children can feel smarter, safer and more enthusiastic about lifelong learning.
You can feel confident that your child will receive the best education inside and out of the classroom at FLPS. Our students excel because they are constantly challenged to push the envelope with new discoveries about their studies, their surroundings and themselves.
