Milwaukee College Preparatory School Revenue and Competitors

The Milwaukee College Preparatory School's educational program focuses on a heavy dose of positive affirmation and critical thinking skills complimented by basic, no nonsense educational pedagogy. The positive affirmations and critical thinking skills are intertwined with everything that is taught. Students are constantly being praised for good choices or academic endeavors made, and they are constantly being pushed to make connections, inferences or comparisons in a Socratic way. The core of our language arts program is the Open Court reading series and phonics program. The phonics' wall cards, which the students go through in a rather boisterous fashion each day, supply the students with the skills to decode and read any word in the English language. We have adopted the Saxon math curriculum and are following it almost verbatim, with the exception of promoting all students one year ahead of schedule (i.e. the 2nd grade completes the third grade material). We expect our students to have completed Algebra by the end of 8th grade. The teaching of Phonics and Math each morning is predominantly done through direct instruction.
