Baypoint Preparatory Academy–San Diego is a College-Preparatory Program that integrates Blended-Learning,

Station-Rotation, and a Looping Model. Centered on Individualized Instruction, it takes a comprehensive approach

to student growth by combining rigorous academics with personalized learning pathways and fostering consistent,

long-term teacher-student-family relationships.

BPA-SD has implemented a K–6 looping model, in which teachers follow the same group of students over multiple years.

This continuity fosters stronger relationships, deepens instructional impact, and ensures a consistently personalized

learning experience for students, teachers, and families. It saves valuable time each academic year by reducing the need

for the traditional “getting to know the student” phase. Additionally, teachers are able to strategically plan at the end of the

academic year for the year ahead, allowing instruction to begin effectively on the very first day of school.

The BPA-SD looping model presents numerous advantages for students. Familiarity among teachers, peers, and families

fosters a supportive community that encourages collaboration and friendship. With the stress of adapting to new teachers

each year significantly reduced, students can focus on their learning. They experience a safe, creative environment that

nurtures emotional well-being and supports their social development. Tailored teaching strategies allow for personalized

instruction, meeting individual needs effectively and leading to academic growth.
