WELCOME TO OUR GIRLS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Greetings from Principal Williams

Dear Families of Girls Prep Bronx Elementary School,

I am thrilled to introduce myself as the new principal of Girls Prep Bronx. My name is Tyra Williams, and I am honored to join this wonderful community.

My commitment to education has always driven me, and I believe that education can transform lives. I am dedicated to ensuring every scholar succeeds, nurturing, challenging, and supporting them to reach their fullest potential.

At Girls Prep Bronx Elementary, we strive to create an environment where our scholars excel academically and grow into confident, compassionate, and responsible individuals. Our core values—scholarship, excellence, integrity, and community—guide our daily practices. We foster a love of learning, set high expectations, act with honesty, and build a supportive, inclusive community.

I look forward to getting to know each of you and your scholars. Building strong relationships with our families is essential, and I am committed to fostering a great partnership with you. Together, we can ensure our scholars have the best educational experience and are well-prepared for their future.

Thank you for welcoming me into the Girls Prep Bronx Elementary family. I am excited about the journey ahead and the opportunities that lie in store for our school community.

PROGRAMMING & CURRICILUM

A Uniquely Holistic Approach to High-Quality Education

Girls Prep Bronx Elementary's curriculum is designed to be enriching and expansive, focusing on topics that matter in today's world. We aim to spark curiosity and encourage our young scholars to think deeply about important issues. Our approach is grounded in a belief that learning must be relevant, joyful, and built to empower students to express themselves creatively. We implement a rigorous, research-backed curriculum where scholars learn to work independently and in groups with classmates on a variety of subjects, such as:

  • English Language Arts: Phonics, Reading and Writing
  • Social Studies and History
  • Science and Engineering Design
  • Math and Real World Problem Solving
  • Visual and Performing Arts: Music, Dance, Theater and Visual Arts
  • Physical Education: Yoga, Sports and Fitness

As parents, we wanted an environment for our daughter that was not just about academics but also about building strong values, and Girls Prep has exceeded our expectations. The teachers are incredible, always going the extra mile to support and challenge the students. Witnessing our daughter's enthusiasm for school and her growing independence has been a joy. Girls Prep isn't just a school; it's a community that uplifts every girl.

Girls Prep Elementary has been a game-changer for our family. The emphasis on both academic excellence and character development is exactly what we had been looking for. Our daughter has developed a strong sense of self and we love to see her so engaged and happy to go to school every day.

I love this school! My daughter previously went to a private school and I do not regret transferring her to Girls Prep Bronx Elementary. The education in this school is extremely high quality and they prepare the girls to start thinking about college early on, which I love!
