Thanks to our highly educated, dedicated teaching staff and to our highly skilled, committed Saddlebrook Golf and Tennis Academy coaches, every student comes away with a remarkable education and memorable experience.
Our Values
One of the three key principles of our High School program focuses on building character. At Saddlebrook Preparatory School, we believe that building character is an essential component of a well-rounded education and so provide various opportunities for students to develop themselves as good global citizens and upstanding community leaders. Our school-wide Core Values Program hosts lessons, events, and activities throughout the year focused on expanding the mind, building the body, and shaping the character. Our student organizations, such as Spartan Ambassadors and our National Honor Society, actively and consistently participate in philanthropic service throughout the year to give back to communities in need. Our student clubs, such as Student Council, host events and activities throughout the year to provide traditional high school experiences that promote bonds and memories that will last a lifetime.
College Planning Program
As a college preparatory school, we understand what it takes for our students to earn admittance to their choice of top-tier colleges and universities. We understand what is required for our students to participate in such highly competitive and high-stakes processes, and we work diligently with students and their families to ensure that they are thoroughly prepared. Upon enrollment to our school, every student enters our College Planning Program. Run by our esteemed College Planning Advisor, the program takes students through each step of preparing, planning, and applying to colleges and universities. Our College Planning Advisor monitors student progress through each step to provide individualized feedback and support. Through the College Planning Program, and in conjunction with our acclaimed academic and sports programs, we maintain a 100% acceptance rate for applicants with many of our students securing lucrative scholarships to their preferred institutions.
