APEX ACADEMICS program reflects the practices that are associated with high-performing urban schools: more time on task; standards-based instruction; research-based curricula; regular assessments; nightly homework; and horizon-broadening enrichment opportunities.

Teaching Methodology :

Regular analysis of and reflection on scholar progress is central to APEX culture and to achieving our mission.

Our teaching methodology ensures that students are being exposed to a holistic education experience in an active and dynamic learning environment, giving them the opportunity to achieve excellence by identifying and realizing their potential. Instructional strategies are student-centered and include active learning, inquiry, experience-based learning and cooperative and participative learning activities.
