The Marion Academies: Positioned to Lead
The Marion Academies are a group of tuition-free, charter schools with a
focus on 21st century learning. Comprised of a college preparatory high
school and a NASA Explorer Schools-themed middle school, the
academies offer a world-class, comprehensive and rigorous curriculum
that develops essential, foundational skills, lights a creative spark and
stimulates lifelong learning.
We are distinguished by the depth of our disciplinary excellence, our
record of trans-disciplinary creativity, outstanding community outreach
initiatives, our partnerships with public and private industry and our
roots within the multi-culturally diverse Central Florida community.
Our Vision is to become a world-class, tuition- free, education complex,
housed within state-of-the-art, eco-friendly academic and athletic
buildings, with student boarding facilities, horsemanship and culinary
arts programs.
Marion Prep High School (Formerly Francis Marion Military Academy) has
been operating for the last six (6) years and graduated College Prep
students that have been accepted to West Point, The Naval Academy,
the Coast Guard Academy and other top Universities in the USA.
Marion Prep Middle School, coming in August 2014, will offer a tuitionfree,
innovative approach to middle school education, with a
technology-rich curriculum, driven by STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, Mathematics) and Aerospace-focused programs. Our unique
educational approach, designed to inspire and engage students in handson
exploration and practical applications, will increase learning and
establish real world relevance and interrelationships for all curriculum
subjects.
