About 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.

We operate four schools: one in Harlem, NY; one in Bronx, NY; and two in Bridgeport, Connecticut, providing students in grades K–12 with a year‑round, college‑preparatory education that encourages them to become scholars and agents of change.
