We Offer: Diagnostic and Prescriptive Teaching

To insure that all of our students succeed, Pikes Peak Prep employs diagnostic and prescriptive teaching. We do baseline testing of all our students for the purpose of identifying areas of strength, weaknesses, and any gaps in learning. This information then allows teachers to tailor their teaching in a very prescriptive way, much like a doctor treats problems, to backfill the gaps and build the weak areas with intervention strategies. By doing this, students are able to successfully move forward in learning without have a deficit. On-going formative assessment is routinely conducted, so that adjustments and course corrections can be made when and where needed.
