Young, Gifted and Prepared Academy

Our Philosophy at Y.G.P. Academy is that learning should be hands on with the perfect balance of teacher plus child base learning strategies.  We also hold very dear to our hearts that the families and teachers are on one accord for the growth of their child's education.
