Marshall K-Prep Academy has chosen the HighScope Curriculum www.highscope.org
Children engage in both individual and social play, participate in small- and large- group activities, assist with cleanup, socialize during meals, develop self-care skills, and exercise their small and large muscles.
The most important segment of the daily routine is the plan-do-review sequence, in which children make choices about what they will do, carry out their ideas, and reflect upon their activities with adults and other children.
Extensive research supports our belief that children learn best when they participate actively in the learning process. They discover things through direct experience with people, objects, events, and ideas.

Students enrolled in Marshall K-Prep Academy have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of activities designed to help them make the adjustment to the school environment and working in a group. It is important that children learn to function well in the classroom environment. This includes getting along with other children and cooperating with adults other than their own parents. These students learn to take turns and wait without interrupting, and participate in other activities that teach thinking, reasoning, and decision making skills. They also work diligently to develop their listening skills, social/emotional skills, literacy, language, mathematical reasoning, and knowledge acquisition through a thematic approach. Research shows that children must first have a strong base in language: rhyming, patterning, playing with words, listening to stories, etc. From the first day till the last, students are saturated with these concepts in a fun yet challenging way.
