Academics at Uplift Pinnacle

We start with strong academics that tie lessons to real world situations. Then we cater the lessons to your child’s unique needs. Your child will be learning exactly what they are prepared to learn while being challenged to grow.

This school is authorized to offer the International Baccalaureate® (IB®) Primary Years Program (PYP) to every student. What is IB®? The IB® PYP programs help our youngest students thrive academically while also:

  • Learning how the world works and their place in it.
  • Understanding how to express themselves.
  • Obtaining the skills to organize themselves and manage their time.

After 5th grade, Uplift students will progress to an Uplift middle and high school where they will continue with the IB® middle years and diploma programs.
