We are a tuition free, public charter school offering a rigorous curriculum that prepares our students for college and the global marketplace. Our small K-8 school offers more individualized instruction for students at both the elementary and middle school levels. We take pride in the fact that our "family" atmosphere caters to the students and gives parents the assurance that their child will be more than just a face in the crowd. We have a diverse population of students and staff which makes our school a fertile learning ground and gives our students the opportunity to see global learning at its best. We are confident that students who leave our school will be fully capable of competing successfully with students from the county, the state, the nation, and the world.

Coursework

In this age of accountability, Guilford Preparatory Academy continues to perform satisfactorily according to state and federal requirements. This is only possible because students at GPA are held to high academic and social standards.

 All of our subjects are taught in accordance with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study, and unlike most schools, Spanish is a part of our core curriculum. We combine the state curriculum with the school adopted Saxon curriculum to create an engaging hands-on learning experience for our students. We believe in the power of data and because of this our students are tested regularly in efforts to provide them with the best instruction, reduce test anxiety, and prepare them for college.

Parent Community Involvement

Our Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is extremely active and plays a large role in helping to motivate our students, encourage our teachers, and bring the community into our school.

This active group of parents helps promote our school and we encourage all of our parents to join this team of men and women who go the extra mile for GPA. 

Along with our parent involvement, we believe strongly in the power of positive community involvement and support.  This year alone representatives from the city council, college presidents, and university interns have all volunteered their services to advance the success of our students.
