The goal of Mason Prep's academic program is to build a foundation upon which students can reach their intellectual potential and develop a lifelong love of learning.

The program is designed to meet the educational needs of the average and above average student while supporting the mission of educating the whole child. The strength of the core curriculum is reflected in consistently strong achievement test scores which have been well above national averages on every test area for each grade level.
 

The curriculum in grades 1 through 6 emphasizes language arts, mathematics, natural sciences, and social studies. In addition, students have classes in music, art, physical education, French, Spanish (grades 5 and 6), computer technology, and media literacy. To enhance curricula, frequent field trips as well as guest speakers are integrated into the program. The "Open Court" series is at the heart of the reading program, and the Scott Foresman/Addison Wesley series is the basis of the mathematics program through grade six.
 

Seventh and eighth graders are provided an excellent preparation for secondary education in order to have opportunities to choose from local independent high schools, boarding schools, and magnet schools. Students take six academic courses: Mathematics, Science, Social Studies or History/Civics, Literature, GVC (Grammar, Vocabulary, Composition), and French or Spanish. The basic curriculum is supplemented by courses in physical education, music, art, and technology. Advanced students have the opportunity to receive high school credit in Algebra, French, and Spanish. Furthermore, enrichment classes include, but are not limited to, drama, yearbook, wellness, service learning, careers, public speaking, and academic teams.
