原文:Thank you for your question. I can speak to the wonderful aspects of Marianapolis Preparatory School and would welcome an opportunity to answer any specific questions that you have about our academic and extracurricular programs. Marianapolis offers rigorous academics, including numerous honors classes, 20 AP courses and up to 100 electives. The academic philosophy of our school is embedded in learning by doing. This is evident in L.E.A.P. Week and the Experiential Learning Program (
https://www.marianapolis.org/academics/experiential-learning) which provide students with an opportunity to cultivate and master new skills by engaging them in projects and experiences outside of the classroom. The Centers of Excellence (
https://www.marianapolis.org/academics/centers-of-excellence) is another Signature Program that embodies these goals. Sophomores have the option to enroll in one of three Centers- Business & Entrepreneurship, Civic Engagement & Service, and Innovation. The COE were created with the idea of giving students the opportunity to gain more practical experience while allowing them to become globally engaged in a specific focal area in addition to the traditional education model. Each of the Centers embarks on a unique course curriculum focused on that area of study. Students engage in a three-week supervised internship, and complete a senior capstone project, among other requirements. Individuals who have successfully completed the program, in addition to the standardized graduation requirements, will receive a specialized diploma at graduation. There are over 40 clubs and activities that students can choose from in order to be active participants in the school community. Within the Athletics Program there are 18 competitive sport options and 10 non-competitive options. Our website is a wonderful resource if you have any questions (
