Founded in 2015, Signature One-to-One School is a coeducational private school for grades 6 – 12. With a mission to deliver a top college-preparatory academic education, Signature One-to-One School offers high academic standards with schedule flexibility that allows students to pursue high-level extracurricular passions. Classes are conducted six days per week and year-round to meet the scheduling needs of any student. In addition to one-to-one class time, students are expected to complete four to five hours of independent work per subject each week. Full academic support services, including homework help, subject tutoring, college counseling, and standardized test preparation are offered as well. The one-to-one model encourages Signature students to become independent, productive, and intellectual learners who pursue their passions, both in and out of school. 

Accreditation

Signature One-to-One School, formerly known as Wellington Preparatory School One-to-One Academy, received provisional approval for the change in the school’s name from our accreditor, the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA CESS). Thanks to the ongoing support from Middle States, there is no disruption for students, families, or teachers during these administrative changes.

Our Faculty

An exceptional faculty is a requirement for success in one-to-one learning. Signature One-to-One School teachers and administrators are experts in their fields. Two-thirds of the teachers have graduate-level degrees, including M.S., M.A., M.B.A., and J.D. degrees. Half of those with Master’s degrees have also earned one or more Ph.D. degrees. 

Our School’s Story

When we launched Signature Academics in January 2014, our goal was to provide a learning environment for students and families who value (and require) a top education at a high level. Exceptional faculty, curricula, experience, professional oversight, and academic integrity allow Signature to deliver on the promise, with services ranging from traditional subject tutoring through standardized test prep and college planning. As part of our promise, we also wanted to be able to meet the educational needs of two types of students:

• Students who have to withdraw from their full-time schools in order to spend multiple weeks or even months away from home and on the road to pursue an extracurricular endeavor; and,

• Students who want a high quality and personalized alternative to the lack of personal interaction they found in most online schools.

To meet the need, in 2015 we launched Signature One-to-One School (then known as Wellington Preparatory School One-to-One Academy) to offer traditional, college preparatory academics with non-traditional scheduling and one-to-one teaching for grades 6-12, based at Signature Academics in Wellington at 12300 South Shore Blvd. Options for Signature One-to-One students include:

• Full-year, full-time enrollment - Signature One-to-One is the full-time school for dedicated students who want academic rigor and need schedule flexibility to pursue significant extracurricular commitments.

• Seasonal full-time enrollment - Signature One-to-One meets the needs of students who have to withdraw from another full-time school for a quarter, trimester, or semester and need to be able to customize the curriculum to match that of the full-time school to which they’ll return. Seasonal, custom, accredited academics are crucial for equestrian student-athletes who must withdraw from their full-time schools to be in Wellington or Ocala.

• Part-time enrollment - Any student can choose to take one or two courses for a semester or a full school year, like a second language, an advanced literature course, or an elective in an area of interest that the student’s full-time school doesn’t offer. Part-time students also take summer courses for credit.

Course credit is accepted and transferable to other schools, colleges, universities, and the NCAA. One-to-one teaching and flexible scheduling allow student-athletes to adjust academic schedules around training, travel, and competition. Each academic course requires a minimum of two one-hour class meetings each week (An AP/IB class requires three hours per week of teaching time). When students are not in Wellington or Ocala, they meet their teachers for live online classes. For seasonal students who enroll for a quarter, trimester, or semester, Signature One-to-One teachers customize the course syllabi and pacing or work to match the material the student's full-time school will be covering.
