Conservatory Prep Senior High School

Conservatory Prep Senior High School is a progressive, private high school located in the heart of Broward County, in Davie, Florida, focused on nurturing inquisitive learners through a college-preparatory curriculum. Our teaching methods incorporate experiential learning and the integration of the performing and visual arts. Our school is designed to meet the needs of gifted and creative students who think out of the box, with fresh ideas. We offer a small classroom setting where students learn for mastery of content, rather than preparing for a standardized test. Students learn about the American Revolution through theater, art, music and culinary arts from that historic period. Students engage in English class while also drafting original screenplays and receiving instruction in film making. Physics is presented through a scientific exploration of the powers of superheroes, while geometry is conveyed through an examination of artistic masterpieces and natural designs. While we utilize the arts as our primary methodology of teaching, we also integrate problem-based learning into many of our classes, and concentrate on developing students' research and writing skills.

It changed my daughter for the good and I highly recommend the school of your child's interests are not just homework but life skills.

This is not a school just an expensive day care! The school gets an F- very bad school!

This is a terrible school. It does NOT teach. There is no homework, no studying, and you do not learn anything in class. The teachers are not supportive of the students. Their philosophy of "teaching through the arts" has failed. Their chemistry course in 2009-10 school year, "Chemistry through Cooking," taught no chemistry and very little cooking. In their "Geometry through Architecture" course in 2008-09 school year, they taught no Geometry and almost nothing about architecture. This school is a waste of your time and money.

Very bad school they can't even show you how you get graded! A's if they like you or F's if they don't.

I graduated from Conservatory Prep last year and I am currently a Freshman on full scholarship to the Wilkes Honors College. I was also accepted to the Honors College at FAU, UCF, USF and UNF. Conservatory Prep completely prepared me for college. Even though the school is very small, you will make friends for life. Teachers love us.

Cons Prep is amazing. The teachers really care about us and the other students are unique individuals. Since the school went away from the online schooling 2.5 years ago, the classes have been challenging, interesting and anything but boring. I am a senior and was admitted to all 5 schools to which I had applied.

I went to this school for a total of 3 months, then I had to leave and attend another private highschool. The online curriculum is unstructured and other kids and I just sat on our laptops all day facebooking and myspacing. The 4 seniors that graduated the year I went to Conservatory went to community college.

I go to this school, and overall it's one of the most life-changing schools if you stick to it, and make the adaptations for it. Truly this is not a school for highschoolsers, but for individuals who do not wish to deal with the absurdity of the whole social status of highschool.
