Academics

 

When your child walks onto our beautiful lakefront campus at Sweetwater Episcopal Academy, there are three things you can count on: an engaging curriculum that promotes active learning, knowledgeable teachers who care about their students, and a loving Christian environment integrated into every class, allowing children to succeed both academically and socially. Integral to our culture, these three elements are present when your child begins pre-kindergarten and they continue until your student finishes his or her senior year.

 

Engaging Curriculum

We provide differentiated, small group instruction across all core subject areas, leading to more individualized teacher attention and personalized student learning while placing an emphasis on problem solving and critical thinking beyond the basic foundation of knowledge

Our curriculum is based on National Standards in core subject areas (reading, math, language, science, social studies). We follow Next Generation Sunshine State Standards for enrichment subjects including Art, Library/Technology, Music, Physical Education and Spanish.

Each April we administer the Stanford 10 Achievement test for students in grades 1-5 in order to track individual and school academic performance.

 

Knowledgeable Teachers

The Faculty of Sweetwater Episcopal Academy is comprised of educators who love teaching, love the students and are committed to inspiring our students to develop a lifelong love of learning.

 

Christian Values

Sweetwater Episcopal Academy is a Christian school that teaches respect and acceptance of the religious and cultural diversity in our community. We encourage students to achieve excellence in both scholarship and character by developing self discipline, integrity, compassion, good manners and friendship in their daily lives.
