Why Icon Preparatory School Jacksonville was nominated

Icon prep takes a mastery-based approach to learning with a focus on inquiry. The learning experience at Icon Prep is structured around: Independence levels; student agency and goal setting; extended year, extended day; mixed-age and peer learning; as well as community learning (mentorship from community members; learn from the community through guest speakers, field studies, and community service; exhibitions). The school cultivates a strong college-going culture within young children (a best practice for HBCU like schools)
