From their first orientation meeting, Prep students are taught our motto: Excellence, Integrity, Commitment, and Courage. Underpinning the four words of the motto is the theme of Community. The motto becomes a touchstone—values that shape their actions and the Prep for Prep Community as a whole. Prep students and alumni strive to embody these words in everything they do.
Founded by South Bronx school teacher Gary Simons with the support of Columbia University’s Teachers College, Prep for Prep opened its doors in 1978 with 25 students and three teachers. Eleven independent schools committed places in their seventh-grade classes.
Today, over 80 schools enroll more than 700 Prep students each year. Our Prep Community includes over 5,000 students and alumni.
