About Public Prep
Public Prep is an award-winning network of charter schools across Manhattan and the Bronx and the nation’s
first non-profit tuition-free charter school network that develops exceptional Pre-K, and single-gender elementary and middle public schools.
We pursue continuous excellence through our dedication to an inclusive community focused on scholar, family, and staff collaboration. Our scholars are resilient and empathetic, guided to realize their power and promise through our four core values of scholarship, excellence, community, and integrity.
Our teaching model is grounded in an anti-racist framework, and designed to incorporate a culturally responsive approach that is informed by data to cultivate an environment that empowers scholars to become independent learners. At Public Prep we believe race, income level, and zip code should not define your destiny, systemic and institutional racism must be disrupted, and all scholars should be empowered and ready to enter high school with voice, choice, opportunity and independence.
Our network comprises 7 schools across 5 campuses in the Lower East Side and Bronx, serving 2,100 scholars in grades PreK-8:

Each school has a committed leadership team and staff that strives to
work collaboratively to build a warm, joyful culture of rigor that ignites the power and promise of every child.

- Other responsibilities as assigned by the Principal, which may include drop off and pick up, lunch duty, and other coverage as needed.
