There are many plusses to the HIGH SCHOOL, such as freedom, lenient dress code and amazing teachers. The activities and events provided at iPrep are fun and distinctive and find a way to make use of the small space available. My middle school experience is no where near the same however and more should be done to make middle schoolers enjoy the school and feel more welcome. Overall, the teachers, facilities, and resources are amazing and provide a unique approach to learning.

iPreparatory Academy is truly an oasis of learning environment made for students who are intrinsically motivated to learn. Its structure is based on self-governance because of the nature of FLVS (Florida Virtual School). Students pace themselves in their courses and have help from teachers available when needed. It is heavily tech and media arts focused, but I have seen since graduation that more emphasis is being placed on STEM. Great for students who have passion for school, but not-so-great for those who are not self-motivated to learn.
The school is great! It definitely prepares you for college. If you're a student who excels at learning/studying independently, this is the school for you. However, if that's not your way of learning, there is help if you need it -- you're better off asking your friends in upper level classes, though. There are many different clubs - Key Club, NHS, NEHS, SSHS, Robotics, etc - but they usually do the same activities every year. School lunch is the same 'ole Miami-Dade County Public Schools lunch. They also offer pre-packaged sushi, lemonade/tea, and chips for extra money. Overall, what sets iPrep apart from other public high schools is the internship opportunity offered during your junior and senior year. Students intern all over the city and the upperclassmen are allowed to leave school at 12:15pm.
