About Us

The Blended Academy at Pine Springs Preparatory Academy is an academic option available to students in 5th-9th grades who are interested in a flexible and rigorous hybrid curriculum. Currently located at 110 S. Salem St. in Apex, North Carolina. This is a temporary home for us as we continue to grow our school model. (Check it out here!)

This option provides students the opportunity to learn remotely and in-person on assigned AM/PM half-day schedules. Teacher-led instruction will be provided throughout the week for all core subjects, and the same teachers will be available online and working with students individually from home.

This blended learning environment will provide students with an adaptable curriculum across multiple subject areas, English, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies, focusing on the North Carolina Course of Study and Core Knowledge curriculum. All core courses will be taught in-person by dedicated Pine Springs Blended Academy teachers. This includes several elective options that will be provided in-person and online. Language courses and other electives may be taken entirely online with guidance and support provided by Blended Academy staff members.

Students in the Blended Academy will be considered full-time Pine Springs Prep students, and will be allowed to participate in school-wide activities, play in athletics, and join all social events hosted by Pine Springs.

This option is ideal for students who have benefitted from online learning, are self-motivated, benefit from small group learning and an independent setting, as well as students with extensive extracurricular involvement. Students will also need to have a dedicated off-campus location where they can focus on their work with adult supervision.
