"Prime Prep is thrilled to be a part of the educational digital revolution, and is poised to change the educational landscape in inner-city communities," explained D.L. Wallace, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Prime Prep Academy. "The high enrollment numbers we are experiencing show how eager parents are to place their children in this hi-tech and fast-paced digital learning environment, and we are honored to serve them."

"This is a major educational initiative that Prime Prep Academy is creating, and parents are recognizing that. These parents are realizing that they have options, and they are choosing Prime Prep for their children. We're going to exceed their expectations by providing their children with the best educational experience possible," said Deion Sanders, Co-Founder of Prime Prep Academy.

Prime Prep Academy credits its partnership with VSCHOOLZ, an e-Learning solutions company based in South Florida, with the high enrollments that they are seeing. VSCHOOLZ has provided Prime Prep with the tools and resources to be able to provide a hi-tech learning environment.

"The VSCHOOLZ method involves using technology to provide customizable, individualized learning pathways for all students. We are excited about this partnership with the Prime Prep leadership team, and look forward to our training sessions for teachers, parents and students. By delivering a twenty-first century digital curriculum model, we will engage students and motivate them to take ownership of their personal academic performance," said Trina Trimm, Chief Operating Officer of VSCHOOLZ.

"At the town hall meetings, parents have begun to understand that this initiative is not about me, but about what we can do for their children's futures," said Sanders. "They discovered that although I may be the face of the school, more importantly there is a highly experienced education and business team that developed this model and will change these kids' lives."

Breaking the mold of a traditional charter school blueprint, Prime Prep Academy intends to offer extra-curricular activities uncommonly available in an inaugural year. Already approved to compete in the University Interscholastic League (UIL), Prime Prep plans to offer a wide variety of sports including football, track, and boys and girls basketball.

"We are committed to fostering an atmosphere that allows our students to become well-rounded individuals," explained Wallace. "Offering competitive athletic programs is simply another example of that commitment."
