Capital Preparatory Schools Capital Preparatory Schools is a
charter school management organization operating a network of
educational communities. Our mission is to build a path where there
was none. From its inception, the Capital Prep community—our
scholars, parents, faculty, and staff—have committed to creating a
compelling and meaningful educational experience. The Capital
Preparatory Schools has four school locations: one in Harlem, NY,
one in Bronx, NY, and two locations in Bridgeport, Connecticut
providing students in grades K–12 with a year-round,
college-preparatory education that encourages students to become
scholars and agents of change. Capital Preparatory Schools believe
that all children, when given the right conditions and environment,
will succeed and excel in their academic and social-emotional
growth. This is achieved by blending elements of academic models
that successfully support scholars from historically disadvantaged
populations, with innovative approaches that get 100% of our
graduates accepted to four-year colleges. Focusing on the key
attributes of leaders, our learner expectations are designed to
develop scholars who are: Collaborators, by showing respect and
cooperation to achieve individual and common goals, Problem
Solvers, by using appropriate personal and team strategies to
address interpersonal, intrapersonal, and group conflicts,
Researcher/Information Processors, by looking for and listening
attentively to important information and utilizing the information
to make positive choices/decisions/conclusions, Empathetic
Citizens, by acting responsibly, safely and thoughtfully to create
positive change for all members of the school, local, and global
communities, Pillars of Knowledge, by modeling the above
expectations in our words, actions and goals. With the support of
the Capital Prep team of skilled and compassionate educators,
students realize their academic abilities, advocate for social
justice and fulfill their civic responsibilities. As leaders of
social justice, we expect our students to use their education to
improve the lives of others. Capital Preparatory Schools is
committed to teaching and learning that promotes the success of
every student by: Creating a safe and enjoyable educational
environment that encompasses our social justice model and that
ensures every graduate moves on to attend college; Providing
individualized instruction and enrichment opportunities for
students to ensure that gifted students are challenged and
