Capital Preparatory Schools is a charter school management organization operating a network of educational communities. Our mission is to build a path where none existed. From its inception, the Capital Prep community—our scholars, parents, faculty, and staff—has committed to creating a compelling and meaningful educational experience. The Capital Preparatory Schools has five school locations: one in the Bronx, one in Harlem, one in New Rochelle, 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 believes 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:

• C ollaborators, by showing respect and cooperation to achieve individual and common goals,
• P roblem Solvers, by using appropriate personal and team strategies to address interpersonal, intrapersonal, and group conflicts,
• R esearcher/Information Processors, by looking for and listening attentively to important information and utilizing the information to make positive choices/decisions/conclusions,
• E mpathetic Citizens, by acting responsibly, safely, and thoughtfully to create positive change for all members of the school, local, and global communities,
• P illars 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.

• 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 struggling students are supported;
