Everything You Need to Know. In One Place.
Student Handbook
Welcome to Biscayne Bay Preparatory Academy, Florida's Premier Online Preparatory School for Grades 6–12. This handbook covers everything that governs your experience as a student here. Read it. Know it. It is the foundation of your success here.
Daily Academic Expectations
Every student is expected to commit a minimum of three to four hours of focused academic work each day. This is not a suggestion. It is the standard that produces results. You set your own schedule. The daily minimum is non-negotiable.

Your AI-Powered Learning Assistant
Every student has access to a 24-hour AI-powered learning assistant through our course platform. This tool adapts to your level, guides you through difficult material, and gives immediate feedback on your work.
The AI learning assistant is a support tool, not a replacement for genuine learning. Using it to bypass actual understanding of the material is a violation of our academic integrity policy.
Academic Integrity
Academic Integrity Violations Include:
Submitting work that is not your own
Copying from another student
Using AI tools to generate work you submit as your own
Misrepresenting your identity during an assessment
Falsifying academic records in any form
Consequences range from a formal warning to permanent dismissal from the program.
