At Scholars we embed college bound language within the daily interactions and communications of our campus and display college-themed artifacts in highly visible areas throughout the campus.

Scholars Academy has adopted curriculum and resources aligned with state standards.
Quality Education Starts With The Youngest Students
Scholars Academy Sunnyslope identifies and connects with local families with preschool-aged children, as well as local area preschools, to facilitate academic growth. These connections and efforts are critical in ensuring that our community’s youngest children are receiving high-quality educational services, in high-quality settings. Our hope is that this engagement will provide local area preschools and families with the opportunity to partner with Scholars Academy Sunnyslope at a community level, to raise the bar in preparing children for Kindergarten.
