Core Subjects & Electives

At Cleveland College Prep, we provide a standards-based curriculum that teaches students skills for college and career readiness. Our curriculum is built on the Ohio Learning Standards (OLS) for English Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Physical Education

English Language Arts

Students develop strong reading, writing, and communication skills through consistent, focused instruction. From early literacy through more advanced comprehension and analysis, students engage with a variety of texts and build the tools to express their ideas clearly and confidently.

Math

Math instruction emphasizes fluency, reasoning, and real-world problem solving. Students build a strong foundation in number operations, algebraic thinking, and data analysis to support long-term academic growth.

Science

Science lessons are hands-on and inquiry-driven, encouraging students to explore life, Earth, and physical sciences. Instruction helps students think critically, ask questions, and connect scientific ideas to their everyday experiences.

Social Studies

Through history, geography, civics, and culture, students learn to think about their communities and the wider world. Lessons encourage analysis, discussion, and reflection on how people, places, and events shape our lives.

Physical Education

PE supports students’ physical development and overall well-being. Structured movement activities help build coordination, teamwork, and focus—skills that carry over into the classroom.

Instructional Model

Our school is built on a strong foundation of high expectations for academic achievement for all students. Our instructional model has four key components to achieve strong academic results:

Individualized Instruction

Students participate in a variety of learning activities each day that individualize instruction for each subject area. Students receive whole class instruction, small group instruction, and individual instruction with teachers, technology and other curricular tools.

Properly Certified & Licensed Teachers

Our teachers meet the educator qualification requirements outlined in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA): Bachelor’s degree, grade-level teaching license/certificate & ability to demonstrate subject area expertise. Our teachers are supported by trainers and participate in continuous, research-based professional development. Our teachers are accountable for student learning and rewarded for high quality performance.

More Time on Task

Our students receive double the instruction in ELA and Math to provide a strong foundation for all learning. Beginning with full-day Kindergarten, our school also follows a longer school day and school year than many other schools.

Short Cycle Assessments

Student knowledge of academic standards is assessed formally and informally in short cycles by each teacher. Our teachers adjust class-level and individual instruction based on student performance in these frequent intervals.
