The school's curriculum is designed to be flexible enough for students to take core classes (language arts, social studies, science and math) at Privett Academy while taking advantage of local resources (public schools, local agencies, organizations, and clubs) for electives, sports, and enrichment.
Language Arts and Social Studies
At the Privett Academy, language arts and social studies are taught with an interdisciplinary approach and a strong emphasis on the writing process. The integrated curriculum allows students to explore cultural patterns, to investigate the influence of the past on current events, and to understand the dynamic relationship between literature and history. Students read widely, write extensively, and venture outside the classroom's walls to experience the rich educational offerings of local cultural and civic institutions.

Math
Our math program meets students at their level of achievement. Following testing, a new student is placed in the program that best fits his or her individual proficiencies and needs. For example, a student with particular strengths in math might take Algebra I as a seventh grader, while a student who struggles will enroll in a program that gives special attention to relearning missing skills.
