The Sagemont School in Weston Rebrands to Sagemont Preparatory School

The Sagemont School in Weston announced today that it has rebranded to become Sagemont Preparatory School (Sagemont Prep), whose mission is to inspire academic excellence through intellectual exploration, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Students at Sagemont Prep are encouraged to take responsible risks and develop a deep understanding of social responsibility as active agents of change. This evolution comes after a year-long brand, image, mission and educational revitalization.

Sagemont Prep also nurtures students’ abilities to connect existing knowledge to unique ideas that extend beyond the classroom. Examples include:

• A student-run coffee shop -- Pride Rock -- which provides a way for students to learn about leadership, entrepreneurship, and economics.
• In kindergarten, students learn to collaborate and create an in-school marketplace called Kindermart. Students conduct and use research to create their own business, and celebrate their kinderpreneurship with a culminating event and opening of their marketplace to the school community.
• The school’s Week without Walls program takes students outside the walls of the school building where they engage in community service and exploration. The annual program for all students includes learning experiences, such as learning to fly a plane or exploring horticulture at local farms.

“We are ecstatic to unveil our new image and name to the larger Broward County community. Sagemont Preparatory School better reflects our mission to prepare students not only for what is known, but also what is unknown as they become the architects of the future,” commented Mellesia Nelson, Sagemont Preparatory Head of School. “Our school aims to break the traditional grades-driven approach to explore ideas, partnership and leadership to expose our students to the vulnerability that leads them to student-powered confidence, new skills, knowledge, and ultimately -- success.”

In addition to changing the name of the school to better reflect its mission to empower students to lead and be prepared for the future, school leaders and staff also collaborated to incorporate innovative teaching strategies and instill an entrepreneurial mindset, while reevaluating instructional practices to increase the rigor of lessons.

The Sagemont School was founded in 1996 by the Goldman family, as an elementary and small middle school with just 40 students. Within five short years, the school grew to include an upper school campus. It recently celebrated its 26th anniversary of serving the Weston community.
