Educational design

Apogee Fredericksburg exists to coach and equip young leaders and their families to reach the greatest heights of their potential by partnering with God's design and through collaborating with parents as families acquire the skills necessary to establish a life of freedom and sovereignty in all areas of life.

We do this with a holistic approach to education, incorporating intentional work towards self-discipline, spirituality, communication, leadership, health, emotional regulation, critical thinking/problem solving, financial literacy, self-sufficiency, entrepreneurism, academics, and more.

real world learning

By creating a microcosm of the real world through financial literacy training, mixed age groups, project-based learning, individualized academics, healthy lifestyle habits, consistent coaching, mentorship, and so much more... our students develop real-life skills and a growth mindset that will carry them far beyond their time in school, and make them lifelong learners.

education for the entire family

When you join Apogee Fredericksburg, you are joining the entire Apogee Community! Parents of Full-Time Students are enrolled in the Apogee Mom's and Dad's Mentorship Program, where you get access to amazing mentors, Q&A, challenges, and educational content. Parents, you are the primary educators and influencers in your child's life, as such it's absolutely necessary that you model a life of growth, continual education, and improvement. Nothing will stunt a child's development more than having a parent that is not growing.

The Code
INTEGRITY, BRAVERY, COMPASSION, POLITENESS, HONESTY, HONOR, LOYALTY
These core values are a compass for everything we do.

Project Based Learning
Students apply and hone skills through real-world projects where they research, learn, create, debate, and develop physical products and creations. Students showcase their work and present regularly, developing their communication and persuasion skills.

Individualized Academics
Using traditional learning at lower levels and the latest advancements in educational technology at the higher levels, our students are encouraged and coached to progress at their speed, with a focus on mastery of the skills, not completion of the grade.

Civil Discourse
"Reason and free inquiry are the only effectual agents against error." - Thomas Jefferson
We encourage regular debate, critical thinking, articulation, and problem solving through daily Socratic Conversations which challenge student's depth of reasoning.

Developmental Level Based
Our studios are designed and grouped by your student's developmental levels. Age truly is just a number, and while it can inform us about some expectations, in reality, we all learn and develop at different rates. Students are grouped based on what is best for them and best for the group.

Leadership Through Discipline
When a young person is taught how to have discipline, and buys into its importance, the need for them to be disciplined by their leaders fades away. Through a culture of core values, coaches and parents leading by example, open conversation, leadership contracts, and clearly defined levels of freedom, discipline issues are not a concern. Discipline equals Freedom, and our students clearly understand what that means.

Physiology First
If the goal of education is to learn, then we should optimize the physical organ that must operate efficiently in order for learning to take place, the brain. To optimize brain health and mental health, we prioritize physical health and clean nutrition through our nutritional guidelines and daily fitness regimen.

Young Entrepreneurs and Financial Literacy
Every student will develop a business from the ground up each year and showcase at our annual Student Business Fair to make real sales and real money.

Integration of Faith
We do not require a declaration in Faith, but we do approach education from a Christian worldview and incorporate prayer and scripture daily.
