Welcome to the College Preparatory Academy at Furlough Middle School where we believe that excellence today equals success tomorrow. The Academy, which will open in August 2025, will help students build a strong college readiness foundation and provide parents with more academic choices for their children.
The College Preparatory Academy will operate as a “school within a school” at Furlough Middle School and students must apply to attend. In its first year, the Academy will serve 125 incoming sixth-grade students and each year an additional grade level will be added until full buildout by the 2027-2028 school year.
Interested in learning more about the College Preparatory Academy? Attend one of our Parent Information Sessions. Parents who attend one of the sessions will also have the opportunity to receive assistance with the online application.
