These aren't just the in-between years. They're the years that shape who your child becomes. Central Florida Prep's middle school program guides 6th through 8th graders through rigorous academics, competitive athletics, farm-to-table culinary arts, and leadership development.
Request a Tour →The middle school years between 6th and 8th grade are the most formative window for academic identity, social confidence, and emotional resilience. At Central Florida Prep, we don't let those years happen by accident.
One counselor for hundreds of students. Teachers rotate through 250+ faces per day. Your child's name shows up on a roster, not in a conversation. When something's wrong, no one notices until it's a problem.
Small class sizes mean your 6th-8th grader is known by every teacher, challenged at their level, and supported through the toughest years of growing up. No one gets lost here, and every student has adults in their corner who genuinely care.
The goal is getting through the textbook, not building a thinker. Advanced students wait while struggling students get left behind. Rigor means more homework, not deeper learning.
Students cook in our commercial culinary kitchen, grow food in our campus garden, engineer solutions in our PLTW STEM lab, and learn financial literacy through real-world scenarios. When students experience what they're learning with their hands, they remember it for life.
Character education is a poster on the wall. Extracurriculars are an afterthought. Students learn to perform for grades, not to understand who they're becoming.
The A.N.C.H.O.R.S. values framework is woven into every class. 5 varsity sports, Student Council, NJHS, and community service give students real ways to lead, compete, and discover what drives them, inside a community small enough to actually see them.
Research shows that the middle school years are when academic identity, social confidence, and emotional resilience are formed. This is when your child develops their relationship with learning, their sense of self in groups, and their capacity to handle challenges.
The habits, relationships, and self-concept your child develops now will shape their trajectory through high school, college, and beyond. This is the window. Central Florida Prep is the intentional choice for the years that matter most.
Every part of the experience is designed so your child feels nurtured academically, socially, and emotionally.
At CFP, nobody gets lost. Your child is seen, supported, and surrounded by adults who care about them as individuals.
Rigorous academics that push students to grow, with the support system to make sure they actually do.
CFP students don't just move on to high school. They walk in ready to lead, compete, and thrive.
