Quality Education in Private School, Course for Credit, and Tutoring

The Privett Academy

A Customized Approach to Learning

By taking one or more classes at Privett, students have access to personalized instruction and undivided attention that cannot be duplicated in a traditional school setting. Students actively participate in their education and instructors adapt and modify curricula to suit the needs and goals of individual students. Student schedules are designed with existing time commitments in mind to aide in dual enrollment situations. We would be happy to discuss options that could work for your student.

Private School

The private school at The Privett Academy is designed to meet the individual needs of students and to be flexible enough for students to take core classes (language arts, social studies, science, math, and foreign language) at Privett Academy while taking advantage of local resources (public schools, local agencies, organizations, and clubs) for electives, sports, and enrichment. Classes can be designed to meet a specific student’s needs, no matter how complex or unique the situation. A dedicated team of teachers help students actively participate in their learning and achievement of academic goals.

Course for Credit

The Course for Credit program at The Privett Academy provides students with demanding academics in a smaller, more individualized environment. Privett provides students with another avenue to achieving academic success. The Privett Academy offers credit for a variety of courses from Algebra to Spanish and almost everything in between. Your student can take a full year or semester classes that are as rigorous and challenging as any traditional school setting but with the benefits of a small group atmosphere. Our classes are designed with each student's best interest in mind and can be catered to those individual needs.

Tutoring

Whether your student needs to catch up or get ahead, Privett teachers are here to work with your student. We help students meet academic or organizational goals in all areas of study from kindergarten through 12th grade. Privett instructors teach basic and advanced skills, homework and organizational methods, study skills, and test preparation. ​K-12 tutoring sessions can be ongoing, once or more per week, or terminal in nature depending on the individual needs of students.
