GPIF is a college preparatory school. Every program, K-12, at GPIF is designed and aligned to prepare students for success in college and beyond.
Our philosophical premise is that students need a tailored and rigorous instructional environment to help them develop the knowledge, skills, and competencies that will assist them in their success in college.
ELEMENTARY (K-5): The elementary grade levels include foundational content using a personalized approach which leverages technology to adapt instruction to student needs while simultaneously providing students with real-time feedback and remediation. Additionally, teachers work with students in small group settings to teach key concepts and to help students continue to develop their skills. Part of the foundational elementary skill set includes developing the character and behavioral attributes that will position students for success as they enter middle and high school.
SECONDARY (6-12): As students progress to secondary grade levels, the focus of student competency development shifts toward independence, ownership of learning, and exposure to new skills. Students engage in courses in person, online, and through video teleconference to gain skills of professional communication and collaboration with colleagues (other students and teachers) in remote geographic locations. When students enter 11th grade, they take primarily college-level coursework with the objective of completing an associate’s degree by high school graduation.
