Harkness Discussions Harkness discussions promote collaborative and student-centered learning experiences. They encourage active engagement, critical thinking, and communication skills among students. Through Harkness discussions, students learn to express their ideas, listen to others’ perspectives, and build upon each other’s contributions. This approach fosters a deeper understanding of the subject matter and cultivates skills essential for effective collaboration, such as empathy, respect, and open-mindedness. Additionally, Harkness discussions empower students to take ownership of their learning process and develop the confidence to articulate and defend their viewpoints in a respectful and constructive manner. Advisory Program Our Upper Campus Advisory Program builds a trusted support system and strong sense of community. It offers our students a safe space for meaningful discussions and growth. The program is grounded in a growth mindset and encourages self-reflection through digital portfolios. These portfolios serve as the foundation for Student-Led Conferences—empowering our students to take ownership of their learning journey. The program features grade-level lessons developed by our counselors to meet evolving needs. Topics include college test prep with the Princeton Review, time management, mindfulness, kindness, and team-building. Through personalized support and skill-building, our students gain confidence, strengthen connections, and become engaged leaders in their education. AP Capstone™ Diploma AP Capstone™ is an innovative diploma program from the College Board. It helps our students learn how to do their own research, work in teams, and share their ideas clearly. The program includes AP Seminar and AP Research. In these classes, our students study real-world problems and many different ways. They find information, look at it closely, and make strong, valid arguments. If students get a score of 3 or higher in both AP Seminar and AP Research, and in four other AP classes they choose, they can earn the AP Capstone Diploma™. Middle School Writing Program Writing is the cornerstone of middle school. Every student takes a writing course each year. In this class, they learn how to share their thoughts clearly. Our 8th grade class is modeled after AP Research. It helps our students learn how to find information, think critically, and build strong ideas. The writing program fosters confidence, creativity, and engagement in our students. They graduate with a solid foundation for success in high school, college, and beyond. Frequently Asked Questions How does Sagemont Prep support student well-being? At Sagemont Prep, well-being is not a secondary program; it is woven into the fabric of our culture. We believe that a student who feels truly seen is a student who is ready to lead. Through our signature Harkness Discussions, students find their voices in an environment rooted in mutual respect, while Project-Based Learning provides the agency and purpose that fuels intrinsic motivation. By balancing academic rigor with a deeply personalized, student-centered approach, we ensure every learner develops the resilience, self-awareness, and adaptability required to navigate an ever-evolving world with confidence. What is the school culture like at Sagemont Prep? Our culture is defined by a rare alchemy of high ambition and profound belonging. Proudly recognized as the #1 Most Diverse Private School in Florida, Sagemont Prep offers a vibrant, inclusive community where a multitude of perspectives enriches every conversation.

Beyond academic excellence, we prioritize the development of character and leadership, ensuring that our students graduate not only ready for college but prepared to contribute meaningfully to a global society. How does Sagemont Prep use technology in the classroom? We view technology as a catalyst for innovation rather than a substitute for instruction. At Sagemont Prep, digital tools are integrated intentionally to foster a future-focused mindset.

As students progress into Middle and High School, they transition to a professional-grade laptop model, mirroring the high-stakes environments of higher education and modern industry. This ensures that our graduates are not just consumers of technology, but architects of it. How involved are parents in the Sagemont Prep community? Sagemont Prep families are integral to our campus life, championed by a highly active Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) and Booster Club across both campuses. Whether through supporting school-wide initiatives, volunteering for signature events, or building lifelong connections with other families, our parents find a community that is as welcoming and engaged as the students themselves. What safety and security measures does Sagemont Prep have in place? The safety of our students is our most fundamental commitment. Sagemont Prep employs a sophisticated, multi-layered security infrastructure that balances cutting-edge technology with rigorous professional training.
