The Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy (AACPA) is a model charter school whose goal is to offer academic programs designed to enhance a child's character, respect, motivation and self-discipline. Located in the heart of Las Vegas' most at-risk neighborhood, AACPA was created specifically to improve skill levels and combat lowered academic expectations while creating a climate of hope among this community's most challenged children. Advanced technology, smaller class sizes and extended school hours are just some of the practices the AACPA utilizes to achieve a higher standard of education.
AACPA creates an environment that rewards students for positive behavior and disciplines unacceptable conduct. Teachers, parents and students each follow a Commitment to Excellence and a Code of Respect.
Community leaders, educators and parents work together to establish high expectations for all students
Commitment to Excellence
TEACHER COMMITMENT
We fully commit to AACPA in the following ways:
• I will arrive at AACPA every day by 7:15 a.m. (Monday - Friday)
• I will remain at AACPA until 3:45 p.m. (Monday - Friday)
• I will come to AACPA on appropriate Saturdays.
• I will always teach in the best way I know how and I will do whatever it takes for students to learn.
• I will always make myself available to students and parents for any concerns they might have.
• I will always protect the safety, interest, and rights of all individuals who enter our school.
Failure to adhere to these commitments can lead to the removal from AACPA.
