IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Thank you for your interest in the 24-25 Instructional Year. We are a small, holistic faith based school. Currently (this is ever changing), we have the following openings for the 24-25 instructional year:
INCLUSION CLASSES Due to opening up new classrooms over the summer, we are happy to announce we have one opening in each of the grades: 2nd, 3rd & 4th grade. What is an inclusion classroom? At our school, an inclusion classroom means that some students may need additional supports (remedial or gifted) & all students benefit from our faith based, holistic (hands on, project-based learning with lots of outside time for all grade levels-weather permitting) education model. Additionally, our student/staff ratio supports optimal learning opportunities.
ESE CLASSROOM What is an ESE classroom? At our school, an ESE classroom is comprised of students that may have one or more learning disorders, intellectual disability, or just need more support than our inclusion classroom setting can provide. ESE students benefit from our faith based, holistic, hands on, project-based learning model.Our students in our ESE classroom are working at a 2nd or 3rd grade level.. Our ESE classroom is on waitlist.
WAITLIST Kindergarten, 1st, 6th-12th grade-Inclusion (We do our best to update this form as often as possible, however, there may be other classes that go on waitlist)
BEFORE/AFTER CARE Starting August 2024 (24-25 Instructional Year), we are no longer offering before and after care due to lack of interest/minimum of 5 students not being met.

Also, all students seeking admission must spend at minimum one week "trialing" in a classroom and complete STAR assessments to determine if Ocala Preparatory Academy is a good fit. During the summer, a minimum of two weeks trialing is required.
