Welcome to Public Prep!

Public Prep is a nonprofit organization that develops single-sex elementary and middle public schools that pursue excellence through continuous learning and data-driven instruction. Our model is designed to empower each student to build strong character, demonstrate critical thinking, possess a core body of knowledge and be on a predictive path to earn a degree from a four-year university. 

We are currently comprised of three, tuition-free all-girls charter schools that are open enrollment and can only be entered via a random lottery. Our schools include:

Girls Prep Lower East Side Elementary, the first all-girls charter school in New York City 
(Serving grades K-5)

Girls Prep Lower East Side Middle
(Serving grades 5-8)

Girls Prep Bronx Elementary
(Serving grades K-4, growing to grade 5)

In addition, we have been awarded a charter to open our first all boys school, Boys Prep. We plan to extend the Girls Prep Bronx charter through middle school (up tp grade 8) upon renewal.
