Genesis Prep. has established a solid reputation for the past 20 years for their academic and enrichment programs. This school is a hidden gem in Pasco County. Having had two sons with very different learning styles, I have tried everything from regular public school during the elementary years to charter middle school, FL virtual school for summer classes and even the IB program at Gulf High and can say with confidence that the educational experience at Genesis is the best. The campus, has everything: nice classrooms, athletic fields, tennis and a lovely Gym/auditorium. The teachers are very competent in their fields and have a personal interest their students succeeding and developing to their fullest potential. The student body is culturally diverse and has developed a close knit community within itself that does not discriminate or segregate.The entire campus is very welcoming and there are many programs to enhance the academic experience. Now that Dr. Missy Nurrenbrock has assumed the role of headmistress, I am sure that Genesis Prep. will get even better!

This is an amazing school for my son, with excellent teachers giving personal attention, a strong community with good parent involvement, and a school with excellent facilities. The students do well not least because they have so many opportunities to shine, not just in the classroom but also through sports, arts, music, language, debating, publications and theater.
