 * More Time for Learning **  Because we believe in the importance of diligent and rigorous study, Rochester Prep offers an extended school day and an extended school year. The school day goes from 7:40am until 4:40pm. The school year runs 195 days, plus summer work as necessary.=====


 * Focus on Literacy and Math **

Rochester Prep's academic program emphasizes two academic disciplines above all others: English and math.

Every student at Rochester Prep will benefit from two 75-minute English classes every day, one focusing on reading comprehension and literature, the other on mechanics and writing. And since skills are not enough without a passion for reading, students will also participate in twice weekly book clubs led by a faculty member. Rochester Prep's academic program will double the time a typical student spends studying English to 13.5 hours per week or more than 525 hours in the course of the academic year.

Every student at Rochester Prep will also benefit from two hour-long classes in math every day, one addressing math procedures and the other math problem-solving. The result will be roughly 10 hours a week of math instruction- enough to ensure that Rochester Prep students are prepared for careers and colleges that emphasize quantitative skill. = = =[|News and Events]=
