PREP for Public Prep: School Readiness Resources 

Welcome, new families! We know that starting a new school is overwhelming in normal circumstances, and these feelings are more enhanced amidst our current circumstances. We hope that this page can provide resources to ensure you and your scholar feel prepared for day 1 of the 2022-23 school year — whatever that may look like! Continue to check back as we update with new resources.

 

SCHOOL CULTURE PREP


Since our inception, Public Prep has prioritized cultivating what is now popularly called a “growth mindset” within our students. We focus on the whole child and aim to build character-based strengths such as resilience, determination, initiative, perseverance, gratitude, empathy, and optimism to help our scholars overcome the inevitable hurdles encountered in life.

LEARN OUR CORE VALUES

PRACTICE THE PUBLIC PREP CHEER

Who do you think you are? I’m already a Superstar!

I strive for the best, better than good, for scholarship, merit and [Sisterhood/Brotherhood]!

I always go beyond and above, showing my trust, wisdom, and love.

What will I do with all this knowledge? I’ll take it with me when I go to college!

Some say I can’t, but I know I can. My work lifts me up, and you hold my hand!
