Academics
Powered by AMP/edu
Our school is powered by the AMP/edu ecosystem — a unified, modern learning platform that strengthens classroom instruction and enhances every student’s learning experience. AMP brings together curriculum, tools, and resources in one cohesive system, helping teachers deliver engaging, consistent instruction and giving students confidence with a well-supported, high-quality education.
Core Subjects & Electives
At Western Toledo Preparatory Academy, we teach a standards-based curriculum that prepares students for college and career readiness. Our curriculum is built on the Ohio Learning Standards (OLS) for English Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Physical Education, and Electives (Art, Esports, Snapology LEGO®, Technology). Electives allow students to explore new interests and develop skills beyond the core curriculum. These courses foster creativity, build confidence, and encourage personal growth, helping students prepare for a well-rounded future.
Art
Students engage in visual arts through creative, hands-on projects that build fine motor skills and artistic confidence.
Esports (Grades 3+)
In partnership with EliteGamingLIVE, students participate in competitive gaming that builds teamwork, communication, and digital citizenship.
Snapology LEGO® (Grade 1)
Students use LEGO® to explore design, engineering, and problem-solving through play-based STEM challenges.
Technology
Students learn essential digital skills and explore coding, keyboarding, and technology use in school and beyond.
Instructional Model
Our school is built on a strong foundation of high expectations for academic achievement for all students. We implement the ACCEL Instructional Model (AIM) which focuses on four key components to achieve strong academic results:
Individualized Instruction
Students participate in a variety of learning activities each day that individualize instruction for each subject area. Students receive whole class instruction, small group instruction, and individual instruction with teachers, technology and other curricular tools.
Certified & Licensed Teachers
Our teachers meet the requirements set forth by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA): Bachelor’s degree, grade-level teaching license/certificate & ability to demonstrate subject area expertise. Our teachers are supported by trainers and participate in continuous, research-based professional development. Our teachers are accountable for student learning and rewarded for high quality performance.
More Time on Task
Our students receive double the instruction in ELA and Math to provide a strong foundation for all learning. Beginning with full-day Kindergarten, our school also follows a longer school day and school year than many other schools.
Short Cycle Assessments
Student knowledge of academic standards is assessed formally and informally in short cycles by each teacher. Our teachers use this data to adjust class-level and individual instruction based on student performance in these frequent intervals.
