Augusta Prep features Spanish introduced in kindergarten, chess starting in first grade, a world fair (global education) in fourth grade, fine arts introduced in Lower School, robotics in Middle and Upper School, French and Spanish in Middle School, performing arts in Middle and Upper School, athletics in Middle and Upper School, cyber team in Upper School. The Upper School offers more than 20 AP courses in engaging and challenging environment.[2]

In the 2018–19 school year, Augusta Prep featured 85 percent of all students competing in at least one sports in grades 6–12, with 59 percent playing two sports and 28 percent playing three sports. Middle School teams won seven championships and added three-up titles. The Upper School varsity sports teams won three GISA championships (girls cross country, girls track and field, girls soccer), added four state runner-up finishes (boys swimming, girls swimming, boys cross country, boys track and field) and took home eight GISA region championships. Augusta Prep won the GISA Class AAA All-Sports Trophy for 2018–19.[3]
