Embracing the Present
Preparing for the Future
High School is so often here today and gone tomorrow - not at Grandview. Our Upper School students are encouraged to find joy in their learning while also appreciating the challenge of a college preparatory curriculum. Our most successful and joyful students participate in a wide range of courses and extracurricular activities. Students learn how to balance their priorities and important skills surrounding advocacy and student agency.
Grandview provides a unique research-based educational program designed to engage each student in the active pursuit of knowledge. Strong personal relationships within the school community provide a foundation to nurture and cultivate knowledge, character and leadership. Our program offers small class sizes, an enriched curriculum focused on durable and transferable skills in areas of communication, critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and character. Students are encouraged to achieve their personal goals for success and wellness in college, and life beyond.

Dual Enrollment
Grandview Preparatory School in affiliation with Lynn University, Florida Atlantic University, and other local universities, offers eligible high school students dual enrollment opportunities. Dual enrollment opportunities become available to students the summer before their sophomore year and are limited to one class per semester.
College Guidance
Finding the best-fit university or college for our soon-to-be graduates is one of our most exciting and rewarding responsibilities. Upper School families work personally with our College Guidance Counselor to navigate the process together. Juniors have the opportunity to enroll in Grandview's College Prep Skills course, which provides the time and guidance needed for students to distinguish best-fit and top-choice options and prepare to pursue their academic goals post high school.
Flexibility
The world is changing and we are changing with it. Grandview offers flexible academic schedules for students who are pursuing passions beyond the classroom. Students have opportunities to pursue a hybrid model to complete their core-curriculum classes with a less traditional schedule. Some students are on campus from 10:30-2:30, while others are on campus from 8:00-1:00.
